Thermal massing

Thermal massing refers to materials within a building that can absorb, store, and release heat slowly. These materials, such as concrete, brick, or stone, help regulate indoor temperatures by soaking up heat during warmer times and gradually releasing it when it's cooler. This process reduces temperature fluctuations, enhances energy efficiency, and creates a more comfortable indoor environment. Properly designed thermal massing leverages natural temperature changes, minimizing the need for mechanical heating and cooling, and supporting sustainable building practices.
