Thermal Insulating Concrete Wall Panel Design for Sustainable Built Environment

Figure 7

The temperature distribution (after 12-hour solar radiation) of three-story buildings adopting (a) the sandwich concrete/gypsum precast wall panel and (b) the conventional precast concrete wall design. The temperature gradients along the wall in two structures are different. The interior surface temperature of the two buildings is shown and the interior surface temperature is the temperature average measured from all monitoring points.
