Computational simulation, Thermal performance, Cluster analysisAbstract
Building thermal performance analysis may involve simulation of several cases with constructive systems within different composition, but similar performance. Thus, it is not necessary simulation of all constructive systems, but just the representative cases. This study uses a k-medoids clustering method to determine representative roofs and representative external walls from a data base. The results show a similar thermal performance for cases in the same cluster. The variation between the representative case and other cases was less than 5% for most clusters.
