Abstract
Methodology for estimating energy costs for heating infiltrating outdoor air
Incoming article date: 15.12.2020The article is devoted to the study of heat losses when heating infiltrating air entering through existing leaks, cracks in doorways of walls, gates, and window bindings. Various methods for determining heat loss through enclosing structures are considered. As a result of the thermal imaging study, a method for determining the heat losses for heating the infiltrating air through existing leaks is proposed.
