Abstract
⺠The study investigates thermal performance and optimum insulation thickness of walls. ⺠The investigation is carried out by using an implicit finite difference method. ⺠Five different structure materials and two different insulation materials are selected. ⺠The optimum insulation thicknesses, energy savings and payback periods are determined. ⺠Results obtained under dynamic conditions are compared with the degree-days method.
