In this study, the thermal environment in a room (Room A) constructed with natural materials such as cedar and
plaster and a room (Room B) constructed with new building materials was measured for 1 year and it’s influence on living
comfortability was examined. We focused on seasonal variations and diurnal variations of temperature. In both the rooms, the
temperature inside the ceiling increased remarkably in summer than in winter. In addition, the humidity in room A had a
characteristic change during the day. On comparing the internal humidity in both rooms, it was found that the diurnal
variation on the inner wall was larger in room A than in room B.
