Insulation, ventilation, and sometimes heating of the basements are arranged only depending on their purpose and on the requirements presented to them in each individual case.
If the basement of the building is intended for ordinary warehouses at the house, for example, for storing coal, firewood, household items, and if it is sufficiently protected from dampness, neither woven, nor ventilation, nor the more heating is required.
If the purpose of the basement is to store some perishable objects, for example, vegetables that are protected from rot only at a certain temperature must be determined, the temperature can be expected inside the basement of the building with a given design of its walls and floor, and if it turns out to be lower, it is necessary to cooked the basement premises.
This kind of basement is sometimes arranged independently (vegetable stores), which significantly worsens their thermal regime, since their floors are in contact in this case not with warm indoor air, but with the outer, the temperature of which drops to -30 ° C.
In the latter case, provided that the basement is overlapped, flush with the surface of the earth, and the floor is located below the depth of freezing, the average temperature of the TX basement can be determined based on the following considerations.
During the period of the deepest freezing of the soil, the average surface temperature under the snow can be accepted equal to -10 °. The depth of freezing of the soil and the indicated average temperature on the surface make it possible to determine the intensity of the heat generation of the soil.
From heat engineering it is known that the amount of heat Q, given through 1 l2 soil layer, is determined by the formula.
