Abstract
For simulation purpose, analytical models are proposed to assess the effective thermal conductivity in terms of size and type of defects. The numerical application to insulated wall shows the impact of each defect on the energy consumption, where deep grooves and openings are found to be strongly affecting the insulation performance.
