I need rant about how much I hate modern home construction so modern houses (the stupid kind) are lightly built structures made mostly of wood that require HVAC systems that run all the time and said HVAC systems are energy intensive the houses need to be heavily insulated and require the HVAC systems to be on pretty much all the time since they have no passive HVAC since they don't use the old thermal mass strategy thermal mass by the way uses brick, sand, clay or some other material to trap and store heat almost like a capacitor this is the same concept as thermal batteries However there are some good things about modern houses mainly insulation which can increase the efficiency of thermal mass since it reduces heat loss and it means you don't need to have you furnace running all the time or whatever other systems you have.... Ok I have ranted enough
