Thermal lag
Encyclopedia
"'Thermal lag'" describes a material's thermal mass
with respect to time. A material with high thermal mass (high heat capacity and low conductivity
) will have a large thermal lag.
Thermal mass
Thermal mass is a concept in building design which describes how the mass of the building provides "inertia" against temperature fluctuations, sometimes known as the thermal flywheel effect...
