To evaluate the thermal insulation performance of interior fabrics of curtains and carpet, a chamber with a house skin was used. Chambers of four types with a house skin were prepared as a thermally insulated form or a non thermally insulated form, with single glazed window glass or double glazed window glass. The electrical consumption of a heater in the chamber with the house skin was measured using a digital power meter. The electrical consumption of the heater was lower in each structure when using curtains and carpet. Results confirmed that the curtains and carpet were effective to control the heat loss from floors and the windows. Moreover, the heater electrical consumption increased linearly with the increased average heat transmission coefficient of the house skin of each chamber with a house skin. Electrical consumption showed good correlation with the average heat transmission rate of the chamber with a house skin.
