Analysis of influence of a roof construction on indoor thermal stability in summer season
Hofman, Petr ; Katunský,, Dušan (referee) ; Hirš, Jiří (referee) ; Mohelníková, Jitka (advisor)
The design of the building must respect the basic conditions for ensuring thermal comfort in the living space. The thermal comfort is influenced by several factors and one of them are the constructions of the building envelope. This work was focused on investigating influence of roof structures. The goal was to make analysis of influencing the selected modifications of the roof compositions to the thermal stability in the summer formed by experiments and detailed computer simulations. On the basis of these findings were defined suitable modifications. It has been worked out that the maximum indoor air temperature can be reduced by up to 1.5 °C in a suitable way. The cool roofs, thermal inertia and the ventilated air cavity layer have the greatest benefit. When evaluating the return on investment in a roof with high thermal inertia represented by a concrete layer of 100 mm, its return compared to a light roof and airconditioning is 12.1 years. The return on installation of external blinds on roof windows is 3.3 years compared to airconditioning.

The influence of internal thermal storage mass used in passive houses' construction systems on their summer thermal stability
Němeček, Martin ; Hraška,, Jozef (referee) ; Katunský,, Dušan (referee) ; Kalousek, Miloš (advisor)
In recent years we may observe a growth in construction of passive houses and low energy houses using lightweight constructions such as modern wooden houses. It is assumed that wooden houses keep overheating more comparing to brick houses during summer period. Due to the lack of research in this field the paper investigates the influence of internal thermal storage mass in passive houses constructions on their summer thermal stability under the Czech climatic conditions. Only sensible heat accumulation without a usage of phase change materials is examined. Differences between wooden houses comparing to brick-built houses are emphasized. Objects of research are mostly residential passive houses in low energy building standards. However, the results of research might be applied to different types of buildings as well. The first section outlines theoretical fundamentals. For the research itself various scientific research methods were used, such as basic mathematical calculations, experimental temperature measurement of two buildings (detached house in Dubňany and in Moravany) and numerical simulations. Own tribute to the research was first of all discussion on the topic of thermal accumulation and structures heat capacity calculation. Experimental measurements outlined conclusive evidence about the importance of internal thermal storage mass in respect of interior summer overheating. The research confirmed that the highest interior temperature reached is mostly influenced by solar gains through unshaded windows. However, the influence of internal thermal storage mass is not remote. If we compare standard timber-framed wooden house to the hole ceramic bricks-built house, the wooden house will overheat by 0,5°C more during a standard day. Wider spread in the maximum temperature reached was measured for lightweight consturctions wooden houses without any internal thermal storage mass. Therefore, such structures should have an additional layer of thermal storage mass.
