It slows thermal creep and helps stabilize internal temperatures. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TBi@lemmy.world 1 point 13 hours ago Thermal mass with external insulation. Insulation keeps heat/cold out, the thermal mass keeps internal temperature steady. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 child) Thermal mass is only going to be good if you live somewhere that is hot during the day and cold at night, because all of the heat still transfers inside because concrete is a terrible insulator. If it stays hot overnight, you're in an oven that gets hotter every day until summer ends.

Traditionally, your (wood-fired) stove sits in the middle, holding your house's thermal mass, and the walls are light and insulating so it doesn't take forever to warm up the house. permalink fedilink source parent
