Abstract
▸ The thermal behavior of a massive free-running building in a dry climate was studied. ▸ The building was monitored in winter and summer and simulated with EnergyPlus soft. ▸ Energy consumption for heating and cooling were analyzed. ▸ The effect of using a lightweight envelope was studied through simulation. ▸ Massive walls are preferable in arid sunny climates with energy savings of 25%.
