Parametric Analysis of Thermal Mass in Residential Buildings
This paper summarizes an analysis of the impact of various wall and building design characteristics on the energy savings due to thermal mass in exterior walls of residential buildings. Thermal mass effects on annual heating and cooling loads were examined in 12 climates for three types of exterior walls - insulation either inside or outside of the mass layer and with insulation and mass well mixed. Using a parametric series of computer simulations and multiple regression analysis, the results were reduced to simple equations that predict the performance of massive walls in typical residences. These regression equations are suitable for use in microcomputer energy analysis programs and other simplified design and analysis tools. Although the use of thermal mass can be an effective means of reducing both heating and cooling loads, the magnitude of the savings is shown to depend on a complex interaction of parameters including the climate, the amount and physical properties of the mass, the location and amount of insulation in the exterior walls and building design parameters that affect either solar gain or natural ventilation rate.
