Abstract
The effect of ground coupling on the room air temperature has been analysed for the hot-dry climate Jodhpur. The wall, floor and roof structures are taken to accord with prevailing buiding practices in this region. The conductive, convective and radiative gains through all the components of the building are used to calculate the periodic heat flux entering the room through all these components. A Fourier admittance method that takes into account the storage effect of the building components is used for calculating the conductive heat loss through the walls, roof and floor. The steady-state ground loss is calculated using the shape factor methodfor two conditions. The hourly values of room air temperature are calculated for an average day of May
