This work describes the advantages provided by applying the method of
spectral analysis to solve problems in the thermal analysis of buildin
gs. A reduced spectrum of the model is obtained with the analysis of t
he dynamic responses of the system. The model obtained is simple and e
fficient, since it describes with accuracy the main dynamic behaviour
of the structure. The aim is to use the model for the control of ambia
nt temperatures in buildings. These temperatures do not require accura
te precision but a good restitution of involved dynamics.
