Juan Li and Changbing Chen

Abstract

The pros and cons of the thermal performance of the external wall not only affect indoor thermal environment in dwellings, but also affect the energy consumption of the building. In this paper, take Southern Anhui Traditional dwellings’ Cavity Wall which have different masonry methods and interlayer as the research object, using theoretical calculations and software simulations to comparative analysis of the thermal performance on Cavity Wall, providing a reference for thermal design of modern wall.
