Thermal lag and thermal mass are vital for in-ground constructions, like the Earthbag Village and Tropical Atrium. This page explores their role in temperature regulation, material properties, heat conductivity, and seasonal impacts, supporting One Community's sustainable, open-source building initiatives.

Understanding Thermal Lag - Calculating Heat Loss Into the Ground

Thermal mass is a material's resistance to change in temperature and the ability to absorb and store heat energy. Thermal lag is the name given to the delay in the stored heat being released from the material as the ambient temperature decreases.
