This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Wall, WALL ???? WALL SOLAR REFLECTION, Material ???? High Thermal Mass (absorb heat at lower rate), High-mass material ???? - absorb heat slowly & lose heat slowly - more advantage on daytime basis, because absorb heat slowly -can cause discomfort at night -if there are assisted ventilation at night, high mass material can be more comfortable than low mass material, High Thermal Mass (absorb heat at lower rate) ???? Brick, solid masonry, concrete, Material ???? Low Thermal Mass (absorb heat at higher rate), Lightweight material eg: timber, steel ???? Composite Wall, WALL THICKNESS Thermal Mass of Material & 'U' value Low-Mass material, WALL SOLAR SHADE Walls exposed to East & West given more solar protection Material, WALL THICKNESS Thermal Mass of Material & 'U' value High-mass material, Low Thermal Mass (absorb heat at higher rate) ???? Lightweight material eg: timber, steel, WALL SOLAR REFLECTION Use of Reflective Surfaces & Reflective Insulation eg: use of white reflective surface thus, minimize insulation need, Brick, solid masonry, concrete ???? Composite Wall, Low-Mass material ???? - better because less heat gain - but indoor temperature drop rapidly in the evening, WALL SOLAR SHADE Walls exposed to East & West given more solar protection Colour, WALL ???? WALL SOLAR SHADE, WALL ???? WALL THICKNESS
