Abstract:
The overall thermal performance of a building UA Total  can be empirically estimated through a short-duration controlled test. Preferably, the controlled test is performed at night during the winter. A heating source, such as a furnace, is turned off after the indoor temperature has stabilized. After an extended period, such as 12 hours, the heating source is briefly turned back on, such as for an hour, then turned off. The indoor temperature is allowed to stabilize. The energy consumed within the building during the test period is assumed to equal internal heat gains. Overall thermal performance is estimated by balancing the heat gained with the heat lost during the test period.

Claim (Index 9):
A system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a cooling source that is comprised within the building and that is interfaced to the computer processor, the computer processor further configured to execute the program code to perform steps to:\n stop operation of the cooling source at the beginning of an uncooled period after recording into the storage medium a further baseline indoor temperature from the indoor thermometer and a further baseline outdoor temperature from the outdoor thermometer; \n temporarily resume operation of the cooling source at the end of the uncooled period after recording into the storage medium a further starting indoor temperature from the indoor thermometer; and \n stop operation of the cooling source after running the cooling source for a cooled period and record into the storage medium a further final indoor temperature from the indoor thermometer after a stabilizing period following the cooled period.
