This guide provides information on the simple, passive design techniques that can be applied in masonry and concrete dwellings to take advantage of their inherent thermal mass on a year-round basis. Reading this document, it will quickly become apparent that the design of a typical house needs very little alteration to reap this benefit, and that there are negligible capital cost implications.
