New equivalent parameters for thermal characterization of opaque building envelope components under dynamic conditions

As reported in the scientific literature and mentioned in building energy performance legislation, the thermal inertia of the opaque building envelope can have a significant positive impact on the reduction of summer indoor overheating, of space cooling peak load and of electricity consumption.
