Geometry
The geometry is described on the following drawings :
The french windows are facing the south (for a rotation angle of 0°). The set-point of the the heating system is fixed at 18 °C. There is no cooling, no ventilation. Infiltration only for the attic and the garage.
A report is available, which describes data and results.
Position influence
One is interested in the influence of the building position compared to the heating energy during February in Carpentras. Rotation of the building is carried out by step of
30 deg, and the heating energy is calcultated.
House rotation
The figure gives the heating energy during February in
Carpentras for various house rotation angles.
It can be noted that the rotation has an influence on the heating energy.
Weather influence
One is interested in the influence of the weather on heating energy of during February for various French cities. The main variable is the Heating Degrees-Day at 18 °C.
Weather influence
The figure gives the heating energy during July for 10 French cities. The drawing gives the heating energy in relation to the Heating Degrees-Day at 18 °C.
The good agreement between the two variables can be noted.
