Overview of Thermal Mass Wall Insulation Construction Details
This approach places continuous insulation on the interior side of concrete, brick, or CMU walls to enhance thermal performance while maintaining the exterior facade of heritage and historic buildings, and in new mass wall construction .
Such details provide a deeper understanding and appreciation for Thermal Mass Wall Insulation Construction Details.
Building Fabric 06
A cavity wall satisfies this basic rule, by having the cavity filled with insulation , and the inner leaf blockwork acting as the thermal mass . Floors follow the same rule, with best practice being to position the insulation under the mass of the floor slab.
The thermal mass of the member ( wall , roof/ceiling, floor etc) is the combination of the properties of each of the components (e.g. AAC, insulation , foil etc) and is a function of the mass and specific heat.
