ABSTRACT: This study analyses thermal behaviour of a house through simulation in MATLAB/Simulink environment considering the effect of outdoor environment over the same. For a given house geometry (including dimension, number of windows, thermal properties of materials used, etc.), cooler characteristics (temperature, flow rate etc.), and Setpoint, this model predicts the cost-effectiveness in view of energy efficiency. The model is developed ...
