It can conveniently fit into any load and energy calculation techniques to perform conduction calculations. There are three methods, Laplace transform (LP) method, state-space (SS) method and frequency-domain regression (FDR) method to calculate CTF coefficients. The limitation of methodology possibly results in imprecise or false CTF coefficients. This paper investigates the applicability of the three methods to the material properties of a single-layer heavyweight building construction. 1. Introduction In cooling load and energy calculation, building simulation and energy analysis, conduction heat transfer is usually modeled as a one-dimensional, transient process with constant material properties (McQuiston, et al. 2000). The simplified heat diffusion equation in Cartesian coordinates is shown in equation (1) (Incropera, et al. 1996). (1) where T = Temperature, C or F x = Heat flow direction, m or ft ( = Thermal diffusivity, m2/s or ft2/s t = Time, sec Fourier’s law, equation (2), specifies the conduction heat flux in terms of the thermal conductivity of the material and temperature gradient across a differential thickness. (2) where q” = Heat flux, W/m2 or Btu/(hr-ft2) (= Thermal conductivity, W/(m-C) or Btu/(hr-ft-F) Since equation (1) is a partial differential equation, the system is usually solved numerically, often by means of conduction transfer function methods. CTFs represent the material’s thermal response as determined by its m
