Abstract
Objective. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of different values of the thermal resistance of an external wall on the resultant temperature at various points within a room and to compare the obtained values with regulatory requirements.
Method. A software calculation method was used to determine the resulting temperature at various points in the room, as well as in-kind measurements of the indoor air temperature in the room under study.
Result. The research produced graphs illustrating variations in indoor air temperature at different points in the room, as well as distributions of the resultant temperature calculated using the Ashar software at various heights under different external wall thermal protection scenarios.
Conclusion. The identified patterns of change in the resulting temperature at different levels of thermal protection of the external wall are consistent and are confirmed by the results of in-kind measurements. This allows us to consider the applied computational and experimental approach as a valid and justified tool for analyzing the thermal conditions of classrooms and assessing the impact of building envelope design on the formation of indoor microclimate parameters.
