Add to ORKGA Light-weight façade and a Heavy-weight façade system are compared in a residential block in Barcelona to investigate the influence of their thermal inertia [1, 2] on the building performance. High thermal inertia in the façade is commonly considered a key factor in Mediterranean climate in the thermal behaviour of houses. The thermal simulation shows that in the studied housing block the incidence of thermal mass in the façade is not very relevant for both energy demand and thermal comfort. Moreover other factors like internal gains and ventilation loads have more incidence than fabric loads
