What is thermal mass?
Thermal mass, in the most general sense, describes the ability of any material to store heat. For material to providea useful level of thermal mass, a combination of three basic properties is required: High specific heat capacity-To maximise the heat that can be stored per kg of material. High density-To maximise the overall weight of […]
Benefits of designing with thermal mass?
Exploiting thermal mass on a year-round basis is not difficult, but does require consideration at the outset of the design process when requirements for the building form, fabric and orientation are being established. Providing this is done sympathetically, a more passive approach to design can realise benefits which include: Enhanced energy efficiency and carbon savings […]
What is Passive Solar Design (PSD)?
PSD basically optimises a building’s form, fabric, and orientation to maximise solar gain from autumn to spring, whilst minimising it during the warmer part of the summer. At the same time, daylighting is maximised at all times.

The Earth’s perimeter of 40,000km results in an intersected sun power of 174,000 TW. Attenuation by the atmosphere results in a peak intensity at sea level of around 1 kW/m2, giving a 24 […]
What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is the energy that is grasped by the earth’s abundant natural sources. Renewable energy can be harnessed with the appropriate use of technology to satisfy the human energy needs.
