Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building energy conservation technology, specifically relating to a real-time inversion method and system for the heat transfer coefficient of a building envelope. Background Technology
[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Building energy conservation is a key link in achieving dual carbon goals, and the heat transfer coefficient of the wall is a core indicator for evaluating the thermal performance of the building envelope.
[0004] Currently, the main methods for measuring the thermal performance of building envelopes include finite element analysis, steady-state methods, and transient methods. Steady-state methods, such as the heat box method and heat flow meter method, cannot reflect the impact of fluctuations in outdoor meteorological parameters (such as solar radiation and wind speed) on the heat transfer process. They require constant environmental conditions, have testing cycles lasting from hours to days, and cannot reflect the true performance under dynamic conditions. Furthermore, the equipment is bulky and complex to deploy on-site, failing to meet real-time monitoring needs. Transient methods, such as infrared thermography, are affected by surface emissivity in terms of accuracy, and the equipment is expensive. Traditional finite element analysis methods, such as numerical inversion, rely on pre-defined wall layer structures, resulting in high computational complexity and difficulty in real-time on-site application. When the actual wall structure is unknown, the inversion results can deviate by more than 20%. These traditional methods are particularly inconvenient when assessing the thermal performance of large-scale building envelopes, often requiring layered sensor deployment, which is complex and costly. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a real-time inversion method and system for the heat transfer coefficient of building envelopes. By constructing a physically constrained end-to-end inversion framework and processing data that changes over time under dynamic conditions, the heat transfer coefficient of the wall can be solved in real time without pre-setting the wall's layered structure. This enables rapid and accurate evaluation of the wall's thermal insulation performance under various environmental conditions, providing data support for energy-saving renovations.

[0041] Example 1
[0042] Embodiment 1 of this invention introduces a real-time inversion method for the heat transfer coefficient of a building envelope.
[0043] like Figure 1 The method for real-time inversion of the heat transfer coefficient of a building envelope, as shown, includes:
[0044] Obtain surface and environmental parameters of the building envelope;
[0045] Based on the acquired parameters and physical neural network model, the optimal thermal conductivity of the building envelope is obtained by inversion with the goal of minimizing the joint loss function based on physical mechanism.
[0046] The heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope is calculated based on the optimal thermal conductivity obtained, and the heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope is inverted in real time.
[0047] To achieve real-time inversion of the heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope, this embodiment uses a physical neural network to calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope. By constructing a physical constraint end-to-end inversion framework, Fourier partial differential equations and boundary conditions are embedded into the neural network loss function to form a physical-driven intelligent inversion system. Using data processing technology under dynamic time conditions, a universal architecture is designed, which does not require a pre-defined layered structure of the building envelope and is applicable to both single-story and composite building envelopes.
[0048] As one or more implementation methods, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment uses a non-invasive detection method to obtain surface and environmental parameters of the building envelope to avoid damage to the building envelope. Specifically, a sensor network (i.e., temperature sensors, solar radiometers, and anemometers) is deployed on the target building envelope. The following parameters are collected in real time through the deployed sensor network: the inner wall temperature of the building envelope (… T L ), the external wall surface temperature of the building envelope ( T 0) The internal air temperature of the building envelope ( T in ), building envelope external air temperature ( T out ), solar radiation intensity ( I sun ), External wind speed of building envelope ( v The collected raw data is cleaned, missing and outlier values are removed, and necessary timestamp alignment and normalization are performed to prepare it for model input. Simultaneously, the thickness of the building envelope is input or measured. L ), the convective heat transfer coefficient of the inner wall ( h in), Solar radiation absorption rate of building envelope materials ( a ), based on the wall structure and the density of the building envelope material ( ρ ) and specific heat capacity ( c Typical reference values for ).
[0049] It should be noted that, among them ,in, v Wind speed. Solar absorptivity is obtained through material databases or field measurements using a spectrometer; the density and specific heat capacity of building envelope materials are taken from known thermophysical properties of different materials.
[0050] As one or more implementation methods, the collected dynamic measurement data is cleaned, Lagrange interpolation is used to fill in any missing values, and timestamps are aligned to ensure that all parameters are synchronized in time, thus preparing for model input.
[0051] In this embodiment, a feature matching mechanism is introduced to determine the initial value of thermal conductivity. Specifically, based on known building envelope physical properties (including specific heat capacity, density, thermal conductivity, etc.), the heat transfer process of different types of buildings (residential buildings, public buildings, industrial buildings, agricultural buildings) under different meteorological conditions and time scales is simulated in the early stage. This forms a feature database of different building types and walls that includes solar radiation intensity, wind speed, ambient temperature, and the temperature response of the inner and outer surfaces of the walls. This database describes the typical heat transfer behavior characteristics corresponding to different environmental conditions under known physical property conditions.
[0052] In practical applications, real-time collected environmental parameters and building envelope surface temperature data are matched with the aforementioned feature database. Samples most similar in meteorological conditions and temperature response characteristics are selected to obtain the corresponding thermal conductivity as the initial preset value. Based on this, the initial thermal conductivity is introduced into the physical constraint inversion model, and the thermal conductivity is further corrected through iterative optimization to make it more consistent with the actual unsteady heat transfer process, thereby achieving high-precision dynamic inversion of thermal conductivity.
[0053] As one or more implementation methods, this embodiment obtains the optimal thermal conductivity of the building envelope by inverting based on the acquired parameters and physical neural network model, with the goal of minimizing the joint loss function based on physical mechanisms.
[0054] This embodiment is built based on a deep learning framework, such as... Figure 3The physical neural network model shown is constructed with a fully connected neural network at its core, used to approximate the temperature distribution function T(x,t) inside the wall, where x is the coordinate along the wall's thickness and t is time. The input layer receives the spatiotemporal coordinates (x,t), and the hidden layers are set to 8 layers, each containing 20 neurons, using LeakyReLU as the activation function to avoid the vanishing gradient problem. The output layer generates the thermal conductivity value and uses Softplus activation to ensure a positive value. A custom soft activation function is introduced to ensure that all physical parameters are non-negative. The thermal conductivity k of the building envelope material is treated as a trainable variable with a preset initial value. To ensure its correct physical meaning, the output of this parameter is processed using Softplus or a custom SoftAbs activation function.
[0055] In this embodiment, the joint loss function based on physical mechanisms includes the Fourier equation residual loss function, the inner wall boundary condition loss function, and the outer wall boundary condition loss function; that is, the joint loss function based on physical mechanisms. for ;in, This is the Fourier equation residual loss function, used to describe the governing equations of heat conduction within the wall. This loss function ensures that the temperature field predicted by the model satisfies the law of heat conduction. , T The temperature inside the building envelope. t For time, k The thermal conductivity of the building envelope. c The specific heat capacity of the building envelope. ρ The material density of the building envelope; These are the weighting coefficients of the Fourier equation residual loss function; This is the boundary condition loss function for the outer wall surface, used to describe the convective heat transfer and solar radiation absorption between the outer surface of the wall and the outdoor environment. , h out The convective heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope exterior wall. T L Temperature of the inner wall surface of the building envelope. T out The air temperature outside the building envelope. I sun Solar radiation intensity, a Solar radiation absorption rate of building envelope materials; These are the weighting coefficients of the loss function for the outer wall boundary conditions; This is the boundary condition loss function for the inner wall surface, used to describe the convective heat transfer between the inner surface of the wall and the indoor environment. , hin The convective heat transfer coefficient of the inner wall of the building envelope. T in The air temperature inside the building envelope. These are the weighting coefficients of the loss function for the inner wall boundary conditions.
[0056] In this embodiment, the partial derivatives of temperature with respect to time and space are efficiently calculated using the automatic differentiation function of the neural network; the weight coefficients of the Fourier equation residual loss function, the weight coefficients of the outer wall boundary condition loss function, and the weight coefficients of the inner wall boundary condition loss function can be adjusted according to the physical importance or convergence speed of each part of the loss.
[0057] As one or more implementation methods, this embodiment aims to minimize the joint loss function based on physical mechanisms. It iteratively optimizes the weight coefficients of the Fourier equation residual loss function, the weight coefficients of the outer wall boundary condition loss function, the weight coefficients of the inner wall boundary condition loss function, and the thermal conductivity of the building envelope. During the optimization process, no temperature measurement data is required; self-supervised learning is performed solely based on the physical equations and boundary conditions. When the joint loss function based on physical mechanisms is less than a preset convergence threshold, the iteration stops, and the converged thermal conductivity value is obtained, which is the optimal thermal conductivity of the building envelope.
[0058] This embodiment is based on the relationship between the thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope, i.e. The heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope corresponding to the optimal thermal conductivity of the building envelope is obtained; where... U The heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope. k The thermal conductivity of the building envelope. h out The convective heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope exterior wall. h in It is the convective heat transfer coefficient of the inner wall of the building envelope.
[0059] Therefore, this embodiment obtains a time stamp, environmental parameters, inverted thermal conductivity k, and final heat transfer coefficient U; the entire inversion process is short and can be completed within 6 hours, realizing rapid and non-destructive testing under unsteady conditions.
[0060] This embodiment fully leverages the advantages of combining physical neural network model data-driven approach with physical mechanism integration. The design process is simple and easy to implement, and it can be effectively applied to the thermal performance evaluation of the building envelope of existing buildings, providing a scientific basis for building energy-saving renovation.
[0061] This embodiment employs non-invasive detection, offering fast single-shot inversion speed. It requires only a wall surface sensor, making it suitable for existing building renovations. It also couples dynamic boundary conditions such as solar radiation and wind speed in real time. Applicable to any wall, it reduces hardware costs, and the results are based on physical mechanism constraints, avoiding the black-box defects of pure data models.
[0062] This embodiment embeds the Fourier equation and boundary conditions into a neural network loss function to achieve integrated modeling of physical mechanisms and data-driven approaches; it achieves dynamic inversion of heat transfer coefficient under unsteady conditions by real-time correction of the convective heat transfer coefficient of the outer wall; and it adopts a lightweight edge computing architecture to deploy the model on portable devices to meet the needs of rapid on-site testing, providing an efficient solution for building energy efficiency assessment.
