    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    Architecture Puzzler #418

    Question

    How would you define "thermal lag factor"?

    Answer

    The thermal lag factor is the time it takes for radiant heat gain entering a space to be absorbed into the room air and become part of the load on the cooling system. This lag time is impacted by the thermal capacity of the materials within the space.
     


     

    Okay, got it? Now try this week's Puzzler:
