1 The optimal tuning, within carbon Salmaan Craig 2019 Elsevier
limits, of thermal mass in naturally
ventilated buildings

Aim To understand about the optimal use of building material


:

Hypothesis To choose primary materials for minimal environmental impact while integrating as
: many functions into them as possible
` .Qualitative approach
Approach :

Methodology Data collection – strategic comparison- material comparison - Results


:

Data Tables, flow chart, bar chart, graphical map


Used :

Results / 1.Outlined the need for a new approach to building design in the early stages, which allows
teams to evaluate the environmental impacts of primary material
Findings : 2. Found how to optimally synchronize the coupling of internal
thermal mass and buoyancy ventilation.

Does the article answer Yes. The data talks about different kind of material available and its use
Hypothesis? :
Conclusions The influence of climatic conditions, formal/spatial types, and interior load profiles
: need to be understood, not only for ventilation dynamics, but for thermal comfort
and heat stress, too. Comparative life cycle analyses of promising configurations in
realistic settings are also needed.

Scope for further thermal resilience and functional unit for LCA studies of thermal mass.
