Analysis of the influence of soil in the thermal performance of subterranean rooms in a ground-level building in Sao Paulo, Brazil, via EnergyPlus

ABSTRACT Among the several factors that interfere with the thermal performance of buildings, soil temperature is not always considered in thermal performance evaluations. However, soil temperature is a factor that influences the result of heat exchanges in the environment, especially in ground-level...
