In order to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission in building domain, thermal insulation of building is being enhanced. In a well insulated and tightened environment, internal heat gain caused by solar radiation, luminaires, electronic appliances and metabolism can be more important to thermal condition of building. This paper presents mathematical/physical models of quasi-adiabtic room and lighting fixtures using heat balance equation and thermal-electric analogy to quantify and modelize the heat gain due to luminaires. Experimental results are used to identify thermal parameters of theoretical models. And simulation results of models using Matlab/Simulink are conducted to verify the models and to investigate the thermal effect of lighting fixtures into quasi-adiabatic room.
