The effect of thermal storage on heating and cooling loads in concrete office buildings is investigated. A model of the structure and conditioned space is developed. Results of the study indicate that: exposing the structure to the conditioned space decreases heating and cooling loads; providing night ventilation reduces cooling loads, but may create heating loads; and ducting supply air through precast concrete floor plank increases cooling loads.
