Calculation: Outdoor and Indoor Environment

Each model was located in ten archaeological sites and one weather station was allocated to each of these sites. In each case, the nearest station was chosen, a decision that implies that some of the stations are assigned several times.

By means of using several locations for each dwelling, the results are representative. These locations are detailed in the section of Appendix A (Figure A1 and Table A1).

The climate data used in this section were obtained from https://energyplus.net/ (U.S. Department of Energy 2019) [69].

Once the outdoor conditions are known, the indoor ones can be calculated. This means that the humidity level and the temperature were determined for both environments. This way, both enthalpies can be obtained.

The enthalpy that corresponds to the pair temperature–humidity of energy in each ambient for each single hour of a year was calculated. This implies that each dwelling in each site is linked to 8760 enthalpy values and 8760 outdoor enthalpy values. These data can be seen in the Appendix A (Table A4).
