 This magnified view illustrates both the fact and the reason for temperature changes within the brick wall. The change in temperature does not occur due to heat flowing from the wall to the exterior – after all, this is where the insulation layer does an excellent job of shielding the wall from the environment. It mostly occurs at the internal wall surfaces (red lines -): This is where the temperature changes are greatest and where they occur first. This can be explained quite simply (data from 12 October):    This magnified view illustrates both the fact and the reason for temperature changes within the brick wall.

This can be explained quite simply (data from 12 October):   
-    * First, between 12am and just before 6am, the temperature decreases in all brick layers of the wall: The wall gives off heat (to the interior and exterior). Inside, the heat is radiated towards the window surfaces which have cooled down during the night.   +    * First, between 12am and just before 6am, the temperature decreases in all brick layers of the wall: The wall gives off heat (to the interior and exterior). Inside, the heat is radiated towards the window surfaces which have cooled down during the night.  
-    * From 6am on, solar radiation through the windows increases (12 October was a clear day). All internal surfaces, including the interior wall surfaces, are heated by the sun. The wall on the west side of the building is even directly hit by the sun until 9am, hence the rapid increase (at 7:30 the window frame causes a shadow; the same happens on 13 October). Later on, radiation occurs only indirectly by heat radiating from the floor which is now directly hit by the sun. Yet, even then the temperature at the internal surface continues to increase and peaks at 25.3 degrees Celsius at 1pm.       +

     * This rapid increase in temperature is passed on to the next layer fitted with a sensor, 88 mm below the surface. However, this increase occurs with a certain delay and at a lesser rate: The temperature “only” increases by 0.75 degrees and only peaks at 6pm.       * This rapid increase in temperature is passed on to the next layer fitted with a sensor, 88 mm below the surface.

     * The most outward layer of the brick wall only reaches its maximum temperature at 7pm and doesn’t exceed 23.8 degrees Celsius. At this level, there is also some influence from the exterior which is largely reduced by the thermal insulation but is noticeable nevertheless. This is mostly due to the fact that the temperatures on the outside of the brick wall are always below those at the internal surfaces.\\     * The most outward layer of the brick wall only reaches its maximum temperature at 7pm and doesn’t exceed 23.8 degrees Celsius.
