Abstract
Résumé

This work aims at studying the thermal behavior of bi-zone buildings by the nodal method (using the FORTRAN simulation: DIGITAL Visual FORTRAN 95) based on an electrical analogy. The building temperature is assumed to be variable with time or imposed at a setpoint temperature. The results show the influence of various parameters (weather temperature, setpoint temperature of the indoor air in each zone) and the effect of common wall, which is composed by the alveolar structure in two different senses (insulating and conducting ones), on the thermal behavior of a building.

L'objectif de ce travail est d'étudier le comportement thermique d'un bâtiment bi-zones par la méthode nodale (en utilisant la simulation FORTRAN : DIGITAL Visual FORTRAN 95) sur la base de l'analogie électrique. La température du bâtiment est supposée être variable dans le temps ou imposée à la température de consigne. Les résultats montrent l'influence de différents paramètres (température météorologiques, la température de consigne de l'air intérieur dans chaque zone) et l'effet de mur mitoyen, qui est composé par la structure alvéolaire en deux sens différents (sens isolant et passant), sur le comportement thermique du bâtiment.
