• Abstract:

  This guide reports data on the thermal properties of concrete and masonry constituents, masonry units, and systems of materials and products to form a building component. The thermal mass of concrete and masonry is considered as well as passive solar design. Procedures to limit condensation within assemblages are also covered, as well as the economics associated with energy conservation.
