Sažetak

Objects covered by fabric roof membranes are specific in terms of energy consumption, primarily because of the negligible thickness of the material and its good thermal conduction properties. One of the ways of improving the energy efficiency of these objects is the implementation of a double fabric roof membrane structure with an enclosed non ventilated air layer. This paper analyzes the thermal-insulation behaviour of the air layer enclosed between tensile fabric roof membranes which are used for structural purposes. The compilation of the necessary data was carried out by measuring a real object covered by a double fabric roof membrane, semi-cylindrical in shape. The surface temperatures of each membrane were measured, as were the outside and inside air temperature and the air temperature between the membranes during the summer months. In addition, the solar irradiance during the same period was also measured. The analysis of the measured data took into consideration all the present forms of energy transmittance (convection, conduction and radiation), as well as the shape of the air layer and the thermal-physical specific features of border surfaces. The results of the study indicate that thermal behaviour of a closed semi-cylindrical air layer depends on the real outer conditions in the summer months. A methodological approach to the thermal modelling of these structures has accordingly been proposed.
