“…The opaque material ideally has short time lag so as not to distribute heat gained at day time to the night time. A wall with appropriate thermal mass had the ability to significantly reduce the energy usage in residential buildings by maintaining a comfortable internal temperature with no heating or cooling [23].…”

-Three types of apartment claddings in Surabaya, Indonesia were studied to analyze their effect into bedroom temperature. They were glass windows in a niche, glass door in a balcony, and glass windows on a plain wall with glass door in a balcony. On-site temperature measurement was recorded and complemented with questionnaire surveys of occupants' perception regarding room temperature. The study showed that an apartment cladding with the largest proportion of opaque material combined with a balcony offered an indoor temperature of up to 9 °C lower than the outdoor compared to the other cladding types. Nevertheless, 72 % of occupants participated in this study, who use air conditioners during night time, including one with the cladding with the largest temperature difference claimed that the indoor temperature before air-conditioners was still too warm, which triggered air-conditioners initial time more than 10 minutes to achieve the desired indoor temperature. It indicated that the opaque material time lag played a significant role in heating the room during night time when the air-conditioner is about to be operated.

In this paper, different sort of façades have been analyzed considering their thermal behavior along a 24 hours period. A numerical model has been developed and compared with experimental measurements considering two different façades for buildings: on the one side an opaque multilayer façade; and on the other side, a ventilated façade. The numerical model representing the temperature in every layer of the façades has been successfully validated. This model has been used for determining the thermal behavior of two new ventilated façades in which the thermal mass has been changed, observing then than the existence of the moving in the air gap affects particularly the air temperature and the thermal transmittance of the façade when the sun is incising over the façade, leading to a decrease of transmittance close to 30% along the air chamber. This quantification is fundamental in warm climates, where this effect is determinant for decreasing the cooling necessities of buildings in summer with no need of increasing the mass of the façade.
