Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop a comfortable living environment with energy-saving features. Two buildings insulated with phenolic resins were constructed according to experimental design to study variations of outdoor and indoor temperatures. The CFD program is used to simulate the large-scale environmental flow field analyses. Results of CFD simulation carried out for the five time intervals of a day show that (1) air current assists in carrying away heat from the wall surface, the indoor temperature drops faster and the indoor air flow becomes turbulent when the window is opened; (2) when the window is closed, the indoor air flow near the window varies the most; (3) phenoic resin insulation has good thermal property.
