Title

Measured air-conditioning and thermal performance of a Thai residential building

Abstract

We describe the measured air-conditioning and thermal performance of a typical Thai single-family residence. Although the measurements represent a single case study, it is the first time that an analysis has been performed on a Thai house with typical modern construction. In such buildings, the lack of building thermal insulation, the utilization of non-ducted air-conditioning equipment and the night-only usage patterns are quite different from conditions prevailing in Western-style buildings. Our results show that reduction to ceiling heat transfer in residential Thai buildings is fundamental to improving cooling energy efficiency.† † The study is part of the Residential Energy Efficiency Project (REEP) dealing with a larger effort by the World Bank to promote energy efficiency in Thailand. The intent of this project is to evaluate potential cooling energy saving measures for Thailand's residential sector. © 1995.
