It is known that the energy consumption and indoor thermal comfort in residential buildings are affected by the thermal performance of building envelopes. The thermal performance of building envelopes varies with their design methods. In this study, the thermal performance changes by the insulating construction types of exterior walls were analyzed, 1) by varing the thickness of the insulation 2) by varing the location of the insulation 3) by varing the location of the plane airspace The analyzed results are presented and the thermal performance evaluating factors were compared and discussed.
