Interior mass walls in a hot humid climate can be thermally grounded to the earth heat sink. The mean radiant temperature of the grounded interior mass walls is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than interior air temperatures. The result is an improvement in the bio-climatic sensation of comfort and an increase in energy conservation.
