Air Permeability and Thermal Mass: Optimising Building Performance

Understanding thermal mass is crucial for energy-efficient building design. Materials like concrete, brick, and stone can absorb, store, and release heat to help maintain steady internal temperatures, making your home more comfortable and cost-efficient. Balancing air permeability and thermal mass is vital; with proper insulation and sealing air leaks, you can optimise energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mechanical ventilation further enhances this balance by controlling air permeability without compromising indoor air quality. By implementing these strategies, as demonstrated in Ratio Seven’s projects, you can significantly lower your energy consumption and environmental impact.
