Thick-walled traditional buildings can absorb and store heat effectively and transmit it slowly because of the mass, density, specific heat capacity and conductivity of stone, brick, lime, mortar and earth.’<br /> <br /> See also: Thermal mass.<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki =<br /> <br /> * Historic England.<br /> * Thermal mass.<br /> * Active thermal mass.<br /> * Decrement delay.<br /> * Heat transfer.<br /> * Insulation.<br /> * Night-time purging.<br /> * Thermal storage.<br /> <br /> [[Category:DCN_Definition]] [[Category:Definitions]]</div>
