人们对多户住宅供暖和制冷能源的高效利用感兴趣，这为建筑参数影响的研究注入了新的活力。这些参数不仅包括影响热阻的参数，还包括热惯性或热质量的参数。由于建筑物的加热和冷却是一个瞬态过程，热质量会影响任何系统的性能。这种影响的程度是这项工作的基础。一些标准，如ASHRAE 90-75、住房和城市发展部最低性能标准（HUD-MPS）和DOE提议的建筑能源性能标准（BEPS），包括基于建筑质量的因素或参考。 由于迄今为止的大部分工作都是基于计算机建模的，因此本文第一部分的目标是评估热负荷和冷负荷对计算机模型中使用的一些参数的敏感性。这些参数包括内部负荷、公寓朝向以及玻璃的数量和类型。虽然这些因素不是热质量量，但它们可能会影响热质量的影响或热质量产生的趋势。引用:ASHRAE交易，第87卷，第一部分，伊利诺伊州芝加哥

The interest in efficient utilization of energy for heating and cooling of multifamily residential dwellings has revitalized the study of the impact of the construction parameters. These parameters not only include those which affect thermal resistance but also those that include thermal inertia or thermal mass. Since heating and cooling of buildings is a transient process, the thermal mass affects the performance of any system. The extent of this effect is the basis for this work. Some standards such as ASHRAE 90-75, the Department of Housing and Urban Development Minimum Prope5rty Standard (HUD-MPS), and the DOE proposed Building Energy Performance Standard (BEPS) include either factors or references based on the mass of the building.Since much of the work attempted to date-is based on computer modeling, the objective of this paper, Part I, is to evaluate the sensitivity of the heating and cooling loads to some parameters used in the computer model These parameters are internal loads, apartment orientation, and the amount and type of glass. Although these factors are not thermal mass quantities, they may impact on the effects of or the trends produced by thermal mass.
