Abstract
The need for simple yet accurate techniques for assessing the thermal performances of buildings is discussed, particularly in relation to residential buildings in Australia. A method is presented for calculating heating or cooling load requirements in terms of indoor temperatures in totally unconditioned (i.e. free-running) buildings. The method accounts for thermal capacitance in the building fabric and intermittent heating or cooling. It can also allow for climatic variability from day to day. The method is a generalization of the variable base degree-day technique which has recently achieved prominence in the United States of America.
