Both, thermal mass and insulation affect heat flow through the envelope. Discuss their roles in energy consumption.
What will be an ideal response?
Insulation reduces energy consumption in all climates. Thermal mass is effective in reducing energy consumption where the heat flow through the envelope changes direction in 24 hours. This occurs in dry, desert-type climates where the daytime outdoor maximum temperature is so high that the heat flows from outside to inside and is so low at night that the heat flows from inside to the outside.
