Abstract
The paper is the third in a series of four which describe a three-year research project into advanced fabric-energy-storage (FES) systems. It presents the derivation of a theoretical relation for the heat transfer (storage efficiency) within a FES-slab which is used to construct a simple model of the slab. The model is then validated against experimental data and incorporated into the full building simulation, ESP-r. An investigation of the summer time overheating risk in an office equipped with FES-slabs demonstrates the application of the model.
