Laplace transform method

Conduction transfer function (CTF) is widely used to calculate conduction heat transfer in building cooling loads and energy calculations. It can conveniently fit into any loads and energy calculation techniques to perform conduction calculations. There are three methods, Laplace transform (LP) method, state-space (SS) method and frequency-domain regression (FDR) method to calculate CTF coefficients (CTFs). The limitation of the methodology possibly results in imprecise or false CTFs.
