Question 1 of 8
Single answer
Why is thermal mass an asset in a hot-dry climate but a liability in a warm-humid one?
A
Mass is heavier, so it only suits load-bearing desert construction
B
Hot-dry nights are cool and dry enough to discharge the stored heat; warm-humid nights stay hot, so the mass never empties and re-radiates heat into the room
C
Humid air conducts heat faster, so mass overheats in the monsoon
D
Mass reflects solar radiation better in dry air
