Abstract
ABSTRACT: This paper studies the effectiveness of natural stone as a thermal mass in two different climates: the
Mediterranean and hot climates (Jerusalem, Riyadh) were taken as case studies. Stone was added to the
conventional wall layers of a simple residential studio in the chosen zones of each climate. The simulation was
performed using Design Builder software to assess the annual energy demand and the level of comfort in each
case. The simulation has shown that using natural stone as a thermal mass has reduced energy demand in the
Mediterranean climate by 7% and 9% in Hot climates. The indoor temperature increased in winter and decreased
in summer in the two climatic regions. Results have shown that the best place and thickness of the natural stone
in the wall in the Mediterranean and the Hot climates are at 20cm external layer (cladding).
