The book systematically builds its case by first introducing the basic principles of thermal mass and sound transmission.
It then analyzes building data to compare the performance of thick-walled buildings with standard constructions.
Two central chapters delve into the specifics of thermal insulation and sound abatement in varying climates.
Finally, the book evaluates the lifecycle costs, including construction, operation, and maintenance, to demonstrate the long-term economic benefits of this sustainable building approach, offering practical applications for architects and builders.
