Abstract (EN): The growing demands concerning thermal comfort and energy efficiency of buildings has motivated significant changes on the construction of enclosure walls. In this paper, thermal dynamic analysis was performed through numerical simulations in order to analyse the influence of enclosure masonry walls on the energy consumption of buildings without HVAC systems installed. The simultaneous influence of several factors was taken into account, such as indoor ventilation, glazing orientation, occupancy, local weathers, and thermal resistance of external walls. To limit the analysis a set of conditions, established for Portugal, were used in the simulations: two different weather conditions and three of the most common housing typologies built with different enclosure masonry wall systems.
