Thermal Storage Structure
Abstract
Structures, which are able to accumulate thermal energy, cause lower air temperature oscillation in adjacent rooms. Thermal energy is accumulated at the structure’s surface layer and is then conducted to deeper layers. The structure changes its own temperature and in comparison with air it has high thermal capacity and reacts more slowly to temperature changes. This attribute is suitable for fitting buildings with very low thermal stability induced by light building construction or thermal insulation positioned above all to internal surfaces.
