TWO-DIMENSIONAL SECTIONS OF THE WALL SYSTEM AND THE ROOF WERE CONSIDERED AND ANALYZED TO COMPUTE LOCAL THERMAL RESISTANCE VALUES. THE WEAK SPOTS WERE THUS IDENTIFIED SO THAT CORRECTIVE MEASURES COULD BE TAKEN. FINALLY, THE LOCAL VALUES WERE SPACE AVERAGED TO GIVE THE OVERALL THERMAL RESISTANCE VALUES OF THE BUILDING SYSTEM.
