Estimation of the Heating Time of Small-Scale Buildings Using Dynamic Models
Buildings, 2016 Most buildings are not continuously occupied, such as office buildings, schools, churches and many residential buildings. Maintaining comfortable conditions only during the occupied periods reduces the energy costs.
