Thermal insulation standards are nowcontractual obligations in new buildings, the energy efficiency in the case ofbuildings constructed before the regulations adopted is still an open issue, andthe assumption is that it will be based on heat flux and conductivity measurement. A three-step procedure is proposed in this study that begins by considering the local building and heating system regulations as well as the specific features of the climate zone. Firstly, the dynamic thermal performance of differentvariables is specifically modeled. Secondly, an exploratory projection pursuitmethod called Cooperative Maximum-Likelihood Hebbian Learning is used toextract the relevant features. Finally, a supervised neural model and identification techniques are applied, in order to detect the heat flux through exteriorwalls in the building. The reliability of the proposed method is validated for awinter zone, associated to several cities in Spain.
