The aim of this study is to introduce a new solution methodology for thermal parameter estimation in building engineering science. By defining a good numerical modeling, inverse algorithm provides us a chance to enhance design conditions in building thermal analysis. The definition of mathematical governing equations and a good solution method to solve them direct the analysis procedure to find temperature distribution using dynamic coding in the computational field. In fact, inverse algorithm utilizes known data resulted from numerical modeling in order to determine the unknown value of important thermal design properties in building problems. The results obtained from implementation of such algorithms demonstrate the accuracy and precision of this new thermal analysis methodology with those of real data resulted from experiments in building problems.
