Abstract
Climate change has changed seasons, affecting the indoor temperature of buildings and causing a strong feeling of discomfort, especially in hot weather. This feeling of discomfort is mainly due to thermal inertia. The aim of this work is to reduce the indoor temperature of buildings by using a new brick with a low thermal inertia. As part of this work we have designed a brick with the same characteristics as the ordinary ones but which are perforated so that in the construction of the wall they form a conduit for the transport of air. The latter thus acts as a heat transfer fluid in its upward convective movement, bringing with it the heat stored in the wall. In order to improve thermal exchange, an air-extractor roller system has been installed. This air extractor allows to increase convection in the walls, reducing thermal inertia and implicitly improving thermal comfort.
