Your quote about energy efficiency of building materials is very good, and talks about conditions where high mass walls can provide a positive benefit by delaying the infiltration of heat into a building. That is usually done with simple local materials such as adobe (the mud hut “Tim” referred to earlier, perhaps) and very thick walls. Do you have some performance data on how Moladi performs as a thermal mass wall (especially in comparison with a standard adobe wall) in delaying heat penetrating into a space?

Energy efficiency of building materials is determined by how it handles heat, how heat transfers through materials and how well materials hold or store heat. Remember, heat always moves from warm to cold, so during the summer, if the outside temperature is warmer than the inside temperature of a home, heat transfers through the walls from the outside in. Conversely during winter, if the inside air temperature is warmer than the outside, heat transfers from inside the home out.

There are a number of combinations of materials used in construction and their thermal mass and R-value efficiencies vary depending on how they are used in the region of the country (climate considerations). How efficient a system is and how much energy consumption is reduced depends on how fast heat transfers through materials, how well materials hold the heat and the fluctuation of outside temperature. High-heat capacity materials significantly reduce the time for the heat to pass or transfer through into the home. Often until late in the night, typically when systems are running more efficiently or consumers are being charged a lower rate for kilowatt usage from their utility company.

Mass effect is real. High-mass walls really can significantly outperform low-mass walls of comparable steady-stated R-value. However, the mass-enhanced R-Value is only significant when the outdoor temperatures cycle above and below indoor temperatures within a 24-hour period. High mass walls are most beneficial in moderate climates that have high daily temperature swings and nearly all areas with significant cooling loads can benefit from thermal mass in EXTERIOR walls. This is especially true for the sunny Southwest areas of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.

According to an article written by Jeffrey E. Christian and Jan Kosny titled “Wall R-Values that Tell It Like It Is,” wall systems with significant thermal mass have the potential, depending on climate, to reduce annual heating and cooling energy requirements below those required by standard wood frame construction with similar steady-state R-value.
