Optimum R-values of building walls under different climatic conditions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

•Optimum wall R-values are determined for different climatic regions in Saudi Arabia.•Optimum R-values are obtained using dynamic heat transfer and economic models.•Optimum R-values for Riyadh and Jeddah regions range from 2 to 2.9 m2.K/W.•Optimum R-values for Abha region range from 1.34 to 1.99 m2....
