- Abstract
- The program computes thermal response factors of multi-layer building constructions (one to seven layers) for thermal conduction applications. Provision is made for including or excluding surface film thermal resistances. Input includes time increment (1 hour, 1/2 hour, etc.), number of layers, thermal properties and descriptions of each layer. Output includes the thermal response factors, X, Y and Z. The main program is amendable to use as a subprogram in a larger program for use in thermal conduction applications.
