heal.abstract	A new model is presented for predicting the dynamic thermal response of indoor spaces to indoor heat pulses. The model is based on the concept of the "indoor surface thermal capacitance", C-s, which characterizes the thermal inertia of an indoor space and expresses the heat stored within indoor air and surface layers of walls and furnishings, per degree of mean temperature difference between indoor air and building envelope. Extensive comparisons with measurements and rigorous finite-difference solutions show that the accuracy of the proposed model is satisfactory for a wide range of practical applications. Comparison with other indoor space simulations of the same class, characterized as "simplified approaches", show that the present one may provide considerably increased accuracy.
