The purpose of this study is to analysis the thermal performance of the clayed hollow block wall. Its thermal performance was evaluated comparison with the cement block wall, it was generally used in building envelope. To that end, we conducted a insulation performance experiment and heating and cooling load simulation for a respective wall. In addition, we calculated a construction cost for each other's wall. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. (1) According to experiment of a insulation performance, coefficient of overall heat transmission of the cement block wall and clayed hollow block wall was calculated respectively $2.72W/^2K$ and $1.42W/^2K$. (2) The annular load saving of the clayed hollow block wall was evaluated 1.5% larger than its of the cement block wall. (3) The construction cost of the clayed hollow block wall was calculated 73% more expensive than its of the cement block wall. (4) The construction cost of the clayed hollow block composite wall was calculated 13.7% more expensive than its of the cement block composite wall.
