Investigating the potential of adding thermal mass to mitigate overheating in a super-insulated low-energy timber house

Evidence suggests that many UK dwellings are subjected to overheating or will be at some point in the future. Dwellings built using modern methods of construction may have a higher overheating risk due to the low levels of thermal mass associated with most of these methods. The Nottingham HOUSE, a p...
