Three new free Timber Thermal Design Guides simplify the design and construction of energy-efficient, comfortable environments

The role of thermal mass in residential design is apparently simple, yet in practice it is frequently poorly understood and applied, especially in timber design and construction. For example, while it is often said that thermal mass is good, it is seldom recognised that too much, or poor application of thermal mass, can be counter-productive. These are among many of the issues addressed in three new free publications from WoodSolutions, funded by Forest and Wood Products Australia Ltd.
