One CommunityUnderstanding thermal lag and mass helps regulate in-ground building temperatures, benefiting eco-friendly structures like Earthbag Village and the Duplicable City Center. Thermal mass stores heat, and thermal lag delays its release, reducing reliance on HVAC systems by harnessing daily temperature cycles.

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.
