Abstract

Thermo-activated Building Systems is an energy-efficient envelope insulation technology. In this paper, the Modular Thermo-activated Building Systems (MTABS) is proposed to enable flexible installation and maintenance of embedded pipe. Two scaled-down experimental rooms of the same size were built, in which the normal energy-saving wall (NW) and the MTABS wall were applied to the south-facing wall respectively. The MTABS for impacting on the indoor thermal environment and energy saving were measured in continuous low-grade heat injection mode under winter outdoor conditions in Hefei, and were analyzed in comparison with the NW. Experimental results show that MTABS can effectively improve the indoor thermal environment. The average temperature difference between indoor and outdoor of MTABS is 6.72 °C higher than that of NW; when the heat source temperature is 25 °C, the cumulative daily heat fluxes of MTABS is 44.0 kWh·m-2, which providing auxiliary indoor heating while significantly reduces energy consumption.
