This paper focuses on simulating nonlinear transient heat transfer in multilayer walls under varying loads, using efficient numerical algorithms. The algorithms employed are completely explicit and unconditionally stable for the linear conduction-convection case. study investigates through building walls, considering different wall geometries load scenarios, encompassing both cooling heating. Our primary objective is to analyse how depends materials evaluate algorithm performance cases involving between solid surfaces fluid (convection) outdoor surface, particularly across an air gap insulation Photovoltaic Cells (PVC). results reveal that prevents from entering building, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. Forced convection significantly enhances dissipation, especially during operations protect PVC with limited working temperature. Furthermore, simulations highlight gap's efficiency reducing maximum temperatures insulation's outer forced conditions. test show leapfrog hopscotch offers best solution this highly stiff system, followed by asymmetric shifted insights into optimizing within implications energy thermal comfort.

Abstract Concrete is a very abundant building material and flexible in construction. Yet cement the main used concrete mixture, which consumed lot of energy money. Cement un-eco-friendly when it comes to production contributor global warming. On other hand, Polymers can be toxic people, fauna, flora. In last century, Egyptian citizens complained that waste has increased, inappropriate disposal effect health quality life. The alternative burn polymers; however, will produce emissions break down ozone layer. Previous researchers tried replace with an mixture. Therefore, this research intends create green block cement-less mixture use polymers as binding blocks. This follow experimental method after discussing properties materials. Then mix created, percentage replaced; thus, making cheap less more ecological economical. Tests performed determine if proposed suitable for mass doesn’t violate international standards. tests include compressive strength, tensile abrasion. finally, cost analysis calculated compare construction costs before using
