摘要

In the pursuit of sustainable and energy-efficient construction solutions, a comprehensive investigation into the thermal performance of 3D-printed concrete lattice walls was performed through a combination of experimental testing and CFD numerical modeling, aiming to uncover the underlying mechanism, direction and magnitude of heat flow affecting thermal transmittance. A calibrated numerical model accurately predicted their thermal performance, underscoring the reliability of the proposed model. Based on the model suggested heat-transfer mechanism, we expand the design space, aiming to uncover configurations that exhibit superior performance with insulation material. The results indicate lowest U value (0.79 W/m2K) of modified partially insulated lattice wall, surpassing the studied lattice configurations. This study offers a critical evaluation of lattice-wall design to develop thermally efficient cost-effective concrete wall, that align with the growing demand for lightweight, functional structures in built environment.
