Abstract

The thermal storage characteristics of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) was investigated by experimental measurements and simulations with three mutually separated rooms having AAC, plywood (PW), and reinforced concrete (RC). The comparison with the experimental results and the simulation results showed that the indoor thermal behavior of AAC room changed depending on the water content by weight of AAC panels. In the case of the AAC panels in an air-dried state, the room temperature and the floor surface temperature in the AAC room were generally intermediate between those of PW and RC rooms. Also, the AAC room's cooling load with intermittent air conditioning was intermediate between that of the other two rooms.
