Abstract: This article uses a two-step fast and accurate methodology to retrieve the thermal diffusivity of a wall based on in-situ measurement. To cut the computational burden of the inverse problem, the first steps consists in searching the optimal experiment design among the sequence of observations. A reduced sequence of three days is identified guaranteeing to estimate the unknown parameters with maximum accuracy. Then, a reduced order model based on modal identification method is developed to cut the computational cost of the direct problem numerical model. Here the robustness of the a priori reduced order model is evaluated for a case different from the original one used for its construction. The case study is an existing building with wall composed of granite. The efficiency of the approach is evaluated, highlighting very a satisfying reliability of the calibrated model with a computational cost reduced by 5.
