Process: How Dynamics and Load work

1. RealThermo Dynamics – Short-term measurement of building dynamics

Objective: To visualize the actual thermal behavior of an empty building.

Measurement period: 3–7 days

Measurement principle: Defined thermal impulse → building response

1.1 Preparing the building

  • Building vacant
  • Rooms defined as open/closed
  • Measurement points defined
  • Sources of interference documented

1.2 Installation of the measuring sensors

  • Room and component sensors
  • Heating surface sensors
  • Data logger

1.3 Activation (thermal pulse)

  • controlled heating
  • defined heating output
  • constant boundary conditions

1.4 Data Acquisition & Monitoring

  • Temperature profiles
  • Response times
  • Storage behavior
  • actual heat losses

1.5 Data Cleaning & Structuring

  • Synchronisation
  • Outlier removal
  • physical structuring

1.6 Analysis of reaction patterns

  • Rate of increase
  • Cooling rates
  • Delay times
  • thermal characteristics

1.7 External physical assessment

  • purely physical
  • without recommendations
  • without planning

2. RealThermo Load – Long-term measurement of the actual heating load

Objective: To determine the actual heating load of a heated building over weeks to months.

Measurement duration: several weeks up to a maximum of 1 year

Measurement principle: Real operating conditions → Energy input → Temperature profile → Real heating load

2.1 Capture initial state

  • Building in normal heating operation
  • Heating times documented
  • User behavior taken into account
  • Outdoor temperatures recorded

2.2 Installation of the long-term sensors

  • Room temperature sensors
  • Radiator or heat generator sensors
  • Energy meter / Performance data
  • Long-term data logger

2.3 Continuous data collection

  • real energy inputs
  • real temperature profiles
  • real operating conditions
  • Weather data

2.4 Data Validation & Structuring

  • Plausibility check
  • Synchronisation
  • Segmentation by operating states

2.5 Derivation of the actual heating load

  • Energy input vs. temperature profile
  • real power loss
  • real Lastprofile
  • seasonal fluctuations

2.6 External physical assessment

  • purely physical classification
  • No recommendations
  • no planning
