Do You know if there is some plugin which could helps in wall heat transfer simulation in sketchup?
or maybe you know some software you can reccomend to play with this?

Look at Sefaira. That might do what you want.

Thanks! I'm looking for something more simply and less holistic.
I need that to design and visualize some single complicated nodes in building partitions (walls, ceilings, lintels connections). It will help me to design proper solution of the node construction. I was trying to use some Masonry Assembly Thermal Simulation Software available on the ncma.org website, but it is too simply. If anyone has an idea, I would be grateful for help

Lightup has a Light Insolation analysis option. Not heat transfer though.

There is an open source tool called OpenFOAM. But its not integrated with SketchUp so you need to tweak stl files. I tried a few years ago but I went nowhere with it. Any info I got on it was either based on the examples files it comes with or data from some other package.

To be honest I couldn't even get it to read .stl files exported from SketchUp.
