Abstract It is generally acknowledged that the mass loss of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars undergoes variations on different time scales. We address here the question of the influence of these variations on the spectral energy distribution (SED) of these sources. We therefore constructed models for the dust envelopes for a sample of AGB stars. From the analysis of these dust models, two indications for the presence of mass-loss variations can be found.
