| What are the pros and cons of window use in a house? How can the cons be mitigated? Explain. | Windows allow heat and air circulation for a house and the right number of insulated windows keeps a house warm in the winter and cool during the summer. Too may windows on the south side will make you way to hot.But not enough windows is bad. |

It cools it because during the day it will take away the heat and store it. |
| Name two materials of high thermal mass and two materials of low thermal mass. | High Thermal Mass: Stone and TIle Low Thermal Mass: Wood and Glass |
| How should the thermal mass be situated in order to best heat a house? Be sure to discuss the angle of sunlight. Explain. | In direct sunlight as close to 90º as possible. |
| How should thermal mass be situated to best cool a house? Explain. | In no direct sunlight. |
| What are the benefits of using insulating material in house design? | It keeps your house not too hot not too cold. |
