varies from 21.23°C to 56.01°C, the temperature in the middle of the wall varies from 14.96°C to 22.02°C. Therefore, the
amplitude of the quasi-steady state is 17.39°C. The heat stored and returned inside the room varies from 136.61 W/m² to
177.73 W/m²; the amplitude of the quasi-stationary regime is 20.56 W/m²
