Manuscript Title: Hygrothermal simulation of interior insulated brick wall – perspectives on uncertainty and sensitivity

The topic of the manuscript is interesting. The following corrections are recorded:

1.      Please indicate clearly the difference between your work and the literature.

2.      Please improve the clarity of Figure 6 by making it colored.

3.      Please add more information about the software that was used in the simulation.

4.      Please shorten the conclusions and reinforce them by adding some values of the obtained results.

Reviewer 2 Report

This work has been done in experiments and simulation based. However, there are a few points that need to focus on to make this work publishable.

- The abstract is required to be revised; the results and the conclusion are not clear.

- The introduction is lengthy; it is required to be shortened.

- The novelty of this study is not clear, there are plenty of results, but the novelty did not reflect the results. I may suggest revising it.

- I may suggest adding this article to this study (Analysis of Optimum Thickness of Glass Wool Roof Thermal Insulation Performance)

- Usually, we do not recommend any 2D simulation, but since this wall is for the experiment, the location of the simulation is clear.

- I may suggest adding one diagram to show where exactly the sensors have been placed.

- The authors did not specify whether the data has been collected in summer or winter.

- What is the reason behind using Glass Wool insulation rather than other types of insulation?

The conclusion showed some data to show the best result.

The English language can be improved.
