Presents response analysis of transfer functions relating indoor and outdoor temperatures (as the input signals) to heat flow through the building envelope (as the output signals). The frequency-domain solutions for foundation heat transfer are provided for both slab-on-grade floors and basements. The spectral analysis is then conducted using Bode and Nyquist diagrams to depict the variation of the magnitude and phase lag of the frequency-domain transfer functions. In particular the spectral sensitivity of building foundation response to periodic cycles, such as annual and diurnal cycles, is investigated.
