Preliminary studies of fourier analysis for some climate data that influences heat transfer in building envelope / Masriah Hj Awang and Zainazlan Md Zain

Energy utilization in buildings continues to increase as quality of life increases. Buildings are built in an environment and the climate surrounding a building is a factor that will influence the amount of energy for the building services. The higher the thermal stress due to the external condit...

The least square polynomial of degree four and ten were chosen to represent the climate data.
