Abstract

Dynamic thermal responses of building envelopes must be taken into account during the design phase of buildings, otherwise several construction systems can be underestimated and wrongly discarded. The evaluation and measurement of transient thermal parameters of multilayered samples are difficult due to the irregular morphology of the used materials and the difficulty in providing well controlled environment. New equipment has been constructed to measure those thermal responses of small samples in well controlled environmental conditions.
