Investigating the performance of common hollow blocks with optimal thermal behavior properties (U, K, R-value)

Different building materials have different thermal properties that impact their overall effectiveness asinsulation and can affect building energy efficiency. Common thermal attributes of constructionmaterials include thermal conductivity, thermal capacity, and thermal diffusivity. Thermalconductivity is a measure of how easily heat is transferred through the material. Thermal capacity is ameasure of the material's ability to absorb and store heat energy. Thermal diffusivity is a measure ofhow quickly heat moves through the material. Hollow blocks are a common material that has a highshare of consumption in several countries, therefore many studies have been conducted to simulate thegeometry of cavities blocks based on various optimization techniques to improve thermal properties.According to the examination of the thermal insulation and heat transfer behavior of the samples, theresults clearly presentation that the blocks with higher values of the size of the holes improve thethermal behavior in heat transfer, and have higher radiation and efficiency as insulation.
