Have you ever touched the side of a brick house on a warm day? You can feel the bricks absorbing the warmth. It takes around 6 hours for this heat to make its way through the brick*, by which time the heat of the day has gone and the afternoon breeze has begun to cool the bricks again. This ability to hold temperature, significantly reducing its transfer into the house, is called thermal mass.
