Optimal Experiment Design for the estimation of building wall material thermal properties

Abstract The estimation of wall thermal properties through an inverse problem procedure enables to increase the reliability model predictions for building energy efficiency. Nevertheless, it requires define experimental campaign obtain on-site observations existing buildings. design experiments search optimal measurement plan that ensure highest precision parameter estimation. For in buildings, seeks answer several questions such as number and position sensors, period duration campaign. In this article, Optimal Experiment Design (OED) methodology is applied a multi-layer resolve aforementioned issues.
