How can I dynamically simulate the heating (electric and/or heat pump) of an apartment?

I modeled a 3000 W radiator in a 43 m² apartment exposed to the cold on 2 sides. I want to measure the indoor temperature at any point at any time (phase shift) for a variable outdoor temperature and visualize the influence of the insulation.

Thank you

You talk about phase shift for me

In building thermals, thermal phase shift is the ability of the materials that make up the housing envelope to slow down heat transfer, particularly from summer solar radiation. This thermal phase shift is particularly useful in summer to prevent the penetration of solar energy during the day and its rejection at night.

here it is typically the nature of your insulation that will be in question

among other things, wood wool has a better phase shift than glass or rock wool or + polystyrene polyurethane 

despite the very close lambda coefs which are more or less identical in terms  of insulating from cold to hot 

but for the opposite it is not true from hot to cold

which + is you talking about 2 exterior walls so 4 walls without loss

So you have to define the type of walls, its composition, its surface

the millefeuille of your walls via the lambda coefs of the matarials and their thickness

which will give you the strength of your wall

Don't forget your window openings

and this for an outdoor temperature and radiation from January 1st to December 31st

not to mention the masks that can be disruptive building vegetation tree with non-perpetual leaves ;-)

An example

then you have your heat cooling emitter  

which has its power/radiation/ conduction/convection

see this link http://www.thermique55.com/principal/thermique.pdf

and to measure your indoor temperature at all points so the balance

You will have to determine the best location of this transmitter

and represent all the obstacles for the different heat fluxes

This is something to amuse a little for the moment

@+ ;-)

Hello and thank you for all this information.

After setting up the materials, the air flow entering at 20°C by the heat pump (above the French window) and the power of the transmitter (3kW at the back right), I got the current lines attached (temperature from 20 to 115°C). What do I need to change?
