20 Thermal Mass Note first how the stud wall in blue responds, lagging the outside temperature (red) by about two hours. However, the masonry wall, peak to peak, lags the outside by about 6 hours. This enables an energy savings to either heat or cool the building. NCMA on Energy LEED Masonry Walls in Sustainable Design 20
