AB - This paper presents a numerical study of local thermal behavior. Vertical  walls are equipped with alveolar structure and/or simple glazing in East,  South and West frontages. Local temperature is assumed to be variable with  time or imposed at set point temperature. Results principally show that the  simple glazing number has a sensitive effect on convection heat transfer and  interior air temperature. They also show that the diode effect is more  sensitive in winter. The effect of alveolar structure and simple glazing on  the power heating in case with set point temperature is also brought out.
