The scope of Dynastee is on the application of how real data could be adapted for dedicated analysis methods. The aim of the Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) could be valuable for builders, designers and the professionals if the required knowledge is transmitted to them. What does the HTC represent in relation to energy consumption of a building? DYNASTEE has developed tools and high-quality benchmark data to support the training of students and professionals. This training has taken place for many years in the form of Summer Schools and workshops to which experts are invited to lecture.

The Summer School, as organised by DYNASTEE for more than 12 years, focuses on the assessment of the heat transfer of building components and whole buildings. Using measurement data from dedicated experiments (such as the Aggregate Heat Loss test), but also monitoring data from test houses, case studies and large-scale measurement campaigns, the thermal performance of the building fabric can be determined. The Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) is a measure of the heat loss rate per degree temperature difference between inside and out. It is expressed in units of Watts/Kelvin (or Celsius).
