This research deals with the study of determining the air temperature inside model buildings built using different walls' cladings, which took place during the summer of 2002 in the research station of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, King Saud University, Riyadh, KSA. The study aims to know the effect of mostly commonly used cladings on thermal performance of buildings. An experiment was done using model rooms. This experiment has been performed during the summer. Readings of air temperatures inside the rooms were collected, statistical analyses and graphs were presented. Study results concluded that using sand bricks, ordinary bricks, stones, and marble cladings gave good feasible results compared with (mortar) covering for outer walls. It has been shown experimentally, that when the maximum temperature of the air outside the building was 36T, the difference in temperature of the air inside the room covered with (mortar) and the other rooms was about 4°C. The research work was concluded with some architectural recommendations suitable for using the outer wall cladings for buildings in KSA.
