Residential consumption dominates the energy expenditure of heating and cooling systems,
especially in tropical climates where building envelopes play an important role in energy …

This paper evaluates the thermal performance of building walls in Morocco's hot and dry
climatic zones. Two types of hollow brick walls, namely, single wall (Type A) and double wall …

The paper is devoted to computer simulations of the distribution and time evolution of the
temperature in a wooden house in summer. The goal of simulations was to assess the effect …

This study investigates the thermal performance of polymer-modified concrete composites,
focusing on their potential to enhance energy efficiency in building envelopes. Four types of …

Increasing concerns about energy consumption for heating and cooling of buildings have
made it necessary to improve the thermal performance of building materials. However, in …

One of the important areas of Phase Changing Materials (PCM) is to increase the heat
retention capacity of building components. Researches are carried out on the heat retention …

Decrement factor and time lag play an essential role in determining the thermal performance
of a building envelope. Building walls, which form a major part of a building, have great …

The thermal inertia of the wall manifests itself as a damping of amplitude (Decrement Factor)
as well as a temperature wave phase lag (Time Lag) upon its passing through the wall. The …

Enhancing a building envelope's thermal mass does not guarantee an increase in thermal
inertia. Through our streamlined model for calculating the thermal time lag of building …
