Abstract
The number of houses of lightweight concrete being built over recent years has increased significantly. These buildings have low thermal mass and may be subject to large temperature fluctuations and particular overheating during the summer and this problem is set to get worse with the climate change. The paper discusses the effect of lightweight concrete walls substitution for reinforced concrete walls from thermal inertia in winter and summer viewpoint. Although the issue has been discussed in the past sufficiently, it should be updated for low carbon dwellings.
