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 2):
A system according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat gained inside the building by the heating source having been run for the heated period is determined in accordance with: Q Heat \ue89e \ue89e Delivered \ue89e - \ue89e Furnace = ( R Furnace ) \ue89e ( \u03b7 Furnace \ue89e \u03b7 Delivery ) \ue89e ( t 2 - t 1 ) \ue89e ( T 0 - T 3 No \ue89e \ue89e Heat T 3 - T 3 No \ue89e \ue89e Heat ) where Q Heat Delivered-Furnace  is the heat gained inside the building by the heating source having been run for the heated period, R Furnace  are the fuel requirements of the heating source, \u03b7 Furnace  is the efficiency of the heating source, \u03b7 Delivery  is the efficiency of the heating delivery component, t 1  is the starting time of the heated period, t 2  is the ending time of the heated period, T 0  is the baseline indoor temperature, T 3  is the final indoor temperature, T 3 No Heater  is the expected final indoor temperature, \u0394t is the unheated period from time t 0  to time t 1 .
