Annual heating and cooling transmission loads are being calculated based on transient heat flow through the external walls and by using hourly climatic data. Additionally, we performed a financial analysis based on the Life Cycle Savings (LCS) method, for each wall configuration and orientation, as well as for various thicknesses of insulation material. Depending on the wall type and orientation, the optimum insulation thickness was found to be between 3.75 cm and 11.0 cm.
