Controlling the thermal behaviour of buildings is very important because it affects the energy use in the buildings and impacts the thermal environment of the area. Thermal behaviour of the building is determined by the type and composition of the building material. This paper shows the thermal behaviour of several types and composition of commonly used building wall materials, i.e. brick, aerated concrete, laminated wood with glass wool insulation, and gypsum with glass wool insulation. For the thermal behaviour measurements, we used wall models exposed to halogen lamps of 2000 watts for 4 hours heating and 4 hours for cooling with a measurement interval of 5-15 minutes. Data retrieval using 8 thermocouples mounted on the surface and inserted inside the wall. The observed thermal behaviour phenomena are the heat flow on the walls, the time delay, and the heat capacity. The results show different maps of the thermal behaviour on the walls and indicating the need for additional thermal insulation material to control the heat release to the outside and inside of the building.
