Thermal Mass and Envelope Continuity in Residential Tilt-Up Construction
This residential project demonstrates how tilt-up concrete construction can support passive design and long-term energy performance. Through insulated site-cast panels, continuous thermal detailing, and the use of concrete thermal mass, the project expands understanding of tilt-up’s applicability to high-performance housing.
