[BLDG-SIM] Thermal mass walls

[Habaza11@xxxxxx]

Yes, I am with eQuest results and your guts!. DOE also funded research on thermal mass which showed that thermal mass may have significant effect, minimal effect or adverse effect on cooling/heating  load. In theory, thermal mass in walls is like the balance wheel, which I don’t think will help in reducing the cooling load in your case. Other factors such as infiltration, mechanical system sizing/operation, etc. may be!.
