Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,562 accessesView PDFCite
