I see. Thanks for the answer!
I'm trying to compare the internal temperature of these two models without any active strategy (such as HVAC), and considering zero internal loads, such as people, lighting and equipment. Basically, i'm trying to extract the hourly internal temperature of these zones. Also, both models have the same solar hear gain.
According to the Tables, the ceramic block model has the U factor of 1.1 W/m².K, while the concrete block model has 2,1. The ceramic block template should not have lower internal temperaturer, due to low transmittance?
My construction for the ceramic block model is: 10 mm ceramic wall + airgap + 10mm ceramic wall + airgap + 10mm ceramic wall + airgap + 10mm ceramic wall. The concrete block has 2,5 cm concrete wall + airgap + 2,5 cm wall.
The construction can consider that much airgap without compromising the results?
