Preface
Civil engineering trends in recent decades have placed increased import-
ance on a multidisciplinary approach in the design, construction and
reconstruction of buildings. Structures are no longer designed only to
provide shelter from natural elements, but they are also meant to estab-
lish adequate living conditions and preserve human health. Furthermore,
depletion of fossil fuels combined with climate changes have put build-
ing energy efficiency into focus. Although structural integrity remains the
primary concern, knowledge of heat transfer, moisture, sound and light,
which are phenomena traditionally covered by building physics, is rapidly
becoming just as important.
However, significant advances in research, standards and legislation are
not matched by advances in building physics education. Many excellent
books cover particular sections of the discipline, often going into great
detail and requiring advanced knowledge of higher mathematics, which
makes them appropriate primarily for physicists. The choice of introduct-
ory literature suitable for future civil engineers and architects is much more
scarce. Furthermore, there is a growing gap in terms of concise descrip-
tions of a wide range of phenomena between people working in different
groups and on varied subjects.
When I was entrusted with lectures on building physics for students of
civil engineering and architecture, I decided to tackle this very problem.
I wanted not only to bring all the subjects of interest under one roof but
also to present connections between various topics within building phys-
ics, connections between those topics and physical principles from which
they derive and connections between theory and application in the form
of international standards. Making those connections should make the
topics more instructive and interesting. In addition, following Albert Ein-
stein’s aphorism, ‘Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no
simpler’, my aim is to keep the level of mathematical complexity as low as
possible without distorting physical facts. To help the readers of this book,
I also include introductory parts that deal with physical principles of ther-
modynamics and wave mechanics while assuming that the reader is famil-
iar with solid and fluid mechanics. Finally, where a dynamical demonstra-
tion is essential, I provide a supplementary multimedia content.
My task was greatly simplified by the emergence of well-conceived stand-
ards that also cover the symbols and names of physical quantities. Ad-
hering to subject- or group-specific terminology is no longer justified, so
the book thoroughly complies with standardised symbols and names, as
presented in Table A.1.

ix
x Building Physics

But just in a few years, significant new developments in international


standards have taken place, particularly in noise assessment and daylight-
ing. In addition, a need has arisen to make a more comprehensive treat-
ment of topics such as energy balance, solar gain, ventilation and energy
efficient buildings. All of this, together with the aim of addressing per-
ceived shortcomings of the first edition, led to the intention to produce
the second edition. Since continued progress in such a vibrant field is un-
deniable, the important updates will continue to be available online even
after the current edition is published.
I am confident that this approach will increase awareness and knowledge
about topics related to building physics and help new generations in their
professional pursuits. On the other hand, there is always a room for im-
provement, and I am looking forward to constructive suggestions and cri-
ticisms of the book. Please find contact details, book errata, updates as
well as supplementary content at http://www.pinteric.com/books/.

Introduction
In the process of building design and construction, different disciplines
are involved, each with different assignments:
• Architecture is primarily concerned with aesthetics and spatial func-
tionality.
• Civil engineering is primarily concerned with structural integrity.
• Building physics is, on the other hand, primarily concerned with liv-
ing conditions of occupants and interaction between internal and
external environments.
This book covers most important building physics phenomena, which can
be categorised into four topics: heat transfer, moisture transfer, sound and
light. Despite the extreme diversity of topics, they have many things in
common, as shown in Fig. A.
First, we are usually interested in the transfer of a certain physical entity,
either mass or various forms of energy. The transfer of an entity is best Info box

2 Building Physics

For moisture transfer, heat transfer, electromagnetic radiation (light) and


sound, these quantities are called density of water vapour flow rate д, dens-
ity of heat flow rate q, irradiance (illuminance) E and time-averaged sound
intensity I, respectively. We will define each of these in the appropriate
chapter. However, examining their similarities as well as differences can
greatly clarify of their purpose.
Furthermore, processes that facilitate all these transfers are based only on
three basic physical mechanisms: diffusion, convection and waves. We will
discuss all of these mechanisms as we come to them.
Depending on the problem type, we will study various parts of the build-
ings [27]:
• A building element is a major part of a building such as a wall, floor
or roof.
• A building component is a building element or a part of it.
We will use those two expressions appropriately throughout the book.
This book also contains an introduction to thermodynamics and wave
mechanics for easy reference.
Finally, at the time of publication, the online multimedia contents accom-
pany figures denoted with the symbol shown in the book’s margin. Note
that more multimedia materials might be added at a later time.

1 Basics of
thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that studies bulk properties
of systems and the energy transfer between them. By ‘systems’, we ima-
gine any well-defined regions of the universe under study. This important
concept is usually related to ‘real’ objects, from common solid bodies to
gases enclosed within a vessel.
Because the systems usually contain a huge number of particles, they are
described statistically. In order to do that, thermodynamics defines addi-
tional physical quantities, such as internal energy, amount of substance,
pressure and temperature.
The idea of this chapter is not to give a comprehensive and systematic over-
view of thermodynamics, but a brief introduction to the concepts needed
in the rest of the book. However, the chapter ends with the elaboration of
energy balance, heat pumps and heat engines.

1.1 Structure of matter


Macroscopic objects always consist of a huge number of particles, that is,
atoms and/or molecules. The behaviour of particles depends on the state
of the matter (Fig. 1.1):
• In solid state, particles are held together very closely by strong elec-
tromagnetic forces. The particles can’t move around, but they can

oscillate about their equilibrium positions. Matter in solid state also


holds its own shape.
• In liquid state, particles are quite close to each other and irregularly
connected by weak electromagnetic forces that are easily broken and
reestablished. They can move past each other very easily. Matter in
liquid state cannot hold its own shape but instead takes the shape
of its container. However, because liquid always retains a constant
volume, if its volume is smaller than that of the container, liquid
forms its own surface.
• In gaseous state, particles are separated by a lot of space, and there
are no forces between them except for occasional collisions. They
move around freely and quickly. Matter in gaseous state cannot hold
its own shape but fills the space of its container.
Substances in both liquid and gaseous state flow (continually deform) un-
der an applied pressure difference. Therefore, they are also collectively de-
noted as fluids.

1.2 Heat and temperature


We start the study of thermodynamics by defining a few basic concepts.
Some of these definitions will be expanded or elaborated on later, when
our knowledge is further extended. We assume that two systems are in
thermal contact with each other if energy can be transferred between them
nonmechanically, that is, solely by temperature difference between them.
The energy that is transferred from one body to another due to thermal
contact is heat with unit joule Q (J). Note that heat shares the unit with
other types of energy. Finally, thermal equilibrium is situation, in which
two systems are in thermal contact, but no heat is transferred between
them.
The first important statement of thermodynamics is the zeroth law of ther-
modynamics or the law of equilibrium: If systems A and B are in thermal
equilibrium, and separately systems A and C are in thermal equilibrium,
then systems B and C are in thermal equilibrium as well.
This statement can be proved experimentally and is very important be-
cause it enables us to define temperature. Suppose that we have several
different systems. By virtue of the zeroth law of thermodynamics, we can
make classes (subsets without common elements) of systems that are in
thermal equilibrium with each other, as shown in Fig. 1.2. Then we tag
each class with unique temperature T.
Info box Hence, transfer of heat between two systems in thermal contact depends
If two bodies are in thermal con- on their temperature. If their temperatures are different, heat will be trans-
tact, they can exchange energy ferred between them. If they have the same temperature, no heat will be
in the form of heat. However, if transferred. In case of radiation, heat is always transferred between two

transfer will be zero (Section 2.4.2 on page 59).

Figure 1.2: Nine systems, with arrows denoting thermal equilibrium. Classes of
systems in thermal equilibrium can be formed and ‘tagged’ with differ-
ent temperatures.

Using this statement, we can also determine if two systems are in thermal
equilibrium without putting them into thermal contact. We can establish
that fact using an intermediate, the thermometer, as shown in Fig. 1.3.
As it turns out, temperatures can be quantified. It is possible to develop a
method by which a larger number is ascribed to a warmer system, and a
smaller number to a colder system. Historically, there have been many
attempts to define temperature scales by defining numerical values for
two referent conditions. The most prominent scale in everyday use is the
Celsius temperature scale, which is denoted by symbol θ (°C). Its unit
is degree Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale was originally defined by
these two referent conditions:
• θ = 0 °C is the melting point temperature of water at standard at-
mospheric pressure (1.013 × 105 Pa).
• θ = 100 °C is the boiling point temperature of water at standard at-
mospheric pressure (1.013 × 105 Pa).
According to this scale, the triple point temperature of water is 0.01 °C.
Later scientific discoveries revealed that in the nature temperature
−273.15 °C is the minimal possible temperature. This temperature, con-
veniently called absolute zero, is the base of the new Kelvin temperature

Figure 1.3: The thermometer (object A) is first placed in thermal contact with ob-
ject B. After thermal equilibrium is reached, we record the first reading.
The thermometer is then removed from thermal contact with object B
and placed in thermal contact with object C. After thermal equilibrium
is reached, we record the second reading. If the two readings are the
same, we can conclude that objects B and C are in thermal equilibrium
with each other.
