Abstract

This paper analyzes methods for calculating energy consumption of temporary shelters for the purpose of reducing energy consumption for heating and improving the level of comfort. Mobile shelters are widely used by rescue emergency teams. Often such type of buildings has a limited access to reliable source of energy supply. Thus it is vitally important to make correct heat losses analysis to select proper capacity of energy source. The paper presents analysis of heat losses of rubber/fabric shelters without extra thermal insulation.
