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.
