Title Statement Effect of different earth surface treatments on the thermal performance of a room coupled to an earth-air tunnel Physical Description 337-354 Summary, Etc. The thermal performance of a normal size room (4m x 3m) connected to an idealized earth-air tunnel has been analysed in terms of heating degree-hours (base 18 C) and cooling degree-hours 9base 30 C). The effects of various earth-air tunnel parameters on the heating degree-hours and cooling degree-hours have been studied. The effects of various treatments of the earth surface over the tunnel have been analysed for three different climates (namely hot-dry, hot-humid and cold-dry) prevalent in India. The earth-surface treatments for hot-dry and hot-humid climates include shading and wetting of the earth surface, and for the cold-dry climate, the surface treatment considered are blackening and glazing of the earth surface Subject Added Entry - Topical Term Indirect coupling to earth   Heating degree hours   Cooling degree hours   Cooling degree hours   Earth surface treatments           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
