Summary

In a building, walls must be insulated, but this also has drawbacks: it limits solar heat gain when required (heating) and prevents heat evacuation when needed (air conditioning). This article describes the design and operation of a honeycomb wall exhibiting anisotropic thermal behaviour, making it possible to reduce convective heat losses in a specified direction.
