Abstract

Experimental studies on internal convective (CHTC) and radiative (RHTC) heat transfer coefficients are very rarely conducted in real conditions during the normal use of buildings. This study presents the results of measurements of CHTC and RHTC for a vertical wall, taken in a selected room of a single-family building during its everyday use. Measurements were performed using HFP01 heat flux plates, Pt1000 sensors for internal air and wall surface temperatures and a globe thermometer for mean radiant temperature measured in 10 min intervals. Measured average CHTC and RHTC amounted to 1.15 W/m 2 K and 5.45 W/m 2 K, compared to the 2.50 W/m 2 K and 5.42 W/m 2 K recommended by the EN ISO 6946, respectively. To compare with calculated CHTC, 14 correlations based on the temperature difference were applied. Obtained values were from 1.31 W/m 2 K (given by Min et al.) to 3.33 W/m 2 K (Wilkes and Peterson), and in all cases were greater than the 1.15 W/m 2 K from measurements. The average value from all models amounted to 2.02 W/m 2 K, and was greater than measurements by 75.6%. The quality of models was also estimated using average absolute error (AAE), average biased error (ABE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean bias error (MBE). Based on these techniques, the model of Fohanno and Polidori was identified as the best with AAE = 68%, ABE = 52%, MAE = 0.41 W/m 2 K and MBE = 0.12 W/m 2 K.
