This highlighted the need to consider all thermal bridging of a wall construction if the true thermal performance

Consequently, the aim of this paper is to investigate thermal performance of building orientations in the UAE. In order to test the thermal performance of building orientations in Sharjah, a real lab-scale house was constructed. It was divided into two zones; one oriented toward the north (M1) and the other one was oriented toward the south (M2). An infrared (IR) camera generated thermographs of each orientation (on one day) and average mean temperatures were recorded over 5 months. The Temperature Difference Ratio (TDR), Time Lag (T g), and Decrement Factor (DF) were tested. It was concluded that: (1) The south orientation had a 9.4% higher temperature than the north orientation; (2) M2 had 3% higher outdoor humidity; (3) M2 had a DF that was 0.01 higher than M1; (4) M1 had a TDR that was 0.162 higher than M2; (5) M2 had an average time lag (H) that was 1.838 h lower than M1. The paper also reveals more interesting findings, which were analyzed, thoroughly tested and discussed.
