“…But literature review has revealed that not only calculation method, but the layout and physical background of the thermal network is very important, as well. It was confirmed by numerous experiences associated with the use of more complex models with one capacitor [66][67][68][69][70] indicating that its modification may result in better calculation accuracy while maintaining its simplicity and low computational demand.…”

The lumped capacitance method is widely used in dynamic modelling of buildings. Models differ in complexity, solution methods and ability to simulate transient behaviour of described objects. The paper presents a mathematical description of a simple 1R1C thermal network model of a building zone. Four numerical methods were applied to solve differential equation describing its dynamics. For validation purposes two test cases (600 and 900) from the BESTEST procedure were used. In both cases detailed results were given. Better ability of the simulation model to reproduce transient behaviour of the modelled buildings was noticed in case of the lightweight object (case 600). Annual heating and cooling demand was within the reference range for heavyweight one (case 900). The kind of the computation method had no significant effect on simulation results.

“…Approximately 80% of the scientific value score represents technical topics related to the engineering discipline (e.g. Saha, 1991;Rode, 2014;Elci, 2018;Sharif, 2012) ( Table 2). The aesthetical value appeared under-represented with only one-quarter of the articles referring to aesthetics (Nordwall, 2013;De Jong, 2014;Smith, 1993;Bazzaz, 2016;Jalaludin, 2012;Riccardo, 2012;Suikkari, 2008).…”

“…use and thermal comfort). Methods are either field measurements using buildings as data sources (Curado, 2015) or simulations (Elci, 2018). The goals of these researchers range from generating knowledge to informing the physical improvements of existing stock to developing tools to enable optimal and sustainable neighbourhoods (Braulio-Gonzalo et al ., 2017).…”

PurposeAlthough residential neighbourhoods are the largest and most resilient share of a city and the process of urban conservation and renewal is ongoing, methods to assess their values are limited. This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review, revealing the state of the art and its knowledge gaps with regard to methods for assessing values of architecture in residential neighbourhoods.Design/methodology/approachThe systematic literature review is based on studies selected by a research protocol, using a digital database of peer-reviewed literature. A metanarrative approach is used to synthesise the qualitative data from reviewed articles. This review has two stages: (1) giving an overview of the field and (2) categorising research methods and disciplines.FindingsThe review revealed a wide variety of studies from different disciplines and deduced its key trends, titled as “storylines”, concerning the methods to assess significance, integrating a broader scope of values and different perspectives. In particular, the “storylines” outside traditional heritage disciplines offer methods to include more stakeholders, link value assessment to policy development or highlight heritage potential. Results reveal the diversity in concepts and strengthen the need for an interdisciplinary vocabulary on values and methods, enabling planners and policymakers to compare their results and help to create more attractive and resilient cities.Originality/valueBy reviewing and comparing the selected studies from a wider range of disciplines and research fields, this paper shares insights into the complementary characteristics of the different types of value research, outlining the added value of the different perspectives.

“…In light of this, periods with extremely warm or cold weather should be avoided when estimating the relation between φ SH and τ a . Furthermore, building type also impacts on the modelling, as Elci et al [41] pointed out. To make the study representative, commercial and residential buildings were differentiated throughout the paper.…”
