Abstract
Dynamic insulation technology adjusts thermal resistance to reduce building energy consumption in response to climate changes. Sustainable building practices prioritize optimizing the building envelope to enhance energy efficiency and regulate the interaction between indoor and outdoor environments. The previous part of this study (Part A) provided an overview of dynamic insulation technology and its potential effectiveness in Iraqi structures with intermittent heating and cooling. The successful implementation of dynamic thermal insulation necessitates careful planning and design solutions that balance performance and efficiency. This paper (Part B) three wall models (static, dynamic, modified dynamic) to evaluate their thermal performance during the heating season. The results demonstrate that the intake facade achieves a preheating efficiency of 77% for the dynamic wall and 81.8% for the modified dynamic wall at the maximum permissible fresh air limit. This improvement in efficiency enhances the quality and conditions of fresh air intake. Additionally, the modified dynamic wall exhibits a notable 50% reduction in pressure loss compared to the dynamic wall, resulting in lower intake or exhaust fan power and thus energy consumption. The results of this paper will guide the presentation of cooling season results and the experimental aspect of future work, offering valuable insights for further exploration. Practical applications This study aims to enhance the efficiency of dynamic facades by investigating the physical phenomena within wall layers. The paper delves into the determination of optimal airflow patterns within facades, the assessment of airflow path modifications, and the evaluation of energy efficiency achieved by implementing dynamic insulation at the intake and exhaust facades during the heating season. The findings contribute to streamlining design complexities and expanding design options for specific climates, thereby ensuring the pragmatic implementation of this technology.
