To improve the accuracy of data analysis methods for the field measurement of wall thermal resistance, a method considering wind velocity is presented through an analysis of both surface heat flux and temperature samples. This analysis method takes the wall heat transfer of linear system into account, simplifying the first order differential equation of wall transient response based on the nodes of the interior and exterior wall surfaces. An approximate solution has been proposed in the form of time domain interpolation. By applying the weighted residual method for the approximate solution, the data analysis method about temperature, heat flux, and wind velocity can be achieved. A transient heat transfer model of a wall was established applying the infinite difference method, by which the proposed analysis method was validated in this paper. Additionally, the heat flow meter experiment platform considering wind velocity was built, on which the proposed method, the mean method and the dynamic analysis method suggested by the international standard ISO 9869 were applied to the test wall under different wind velocities. The wall thermal resistance value obtained in our proposed method has proven to be in better agreement with that obtained for a steady state. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
