Thermal Mass, Shading, and Material Strategy in Desert-Responsive Tilt-Up Design
This project demonstrates how tilt-up construction can contribute to energy performance through thermal mass, integrated shading, and material strategies. By aligning passive design with renewable energy systems, it offers a replicable approach for reducing building loads in arid climates while maintaining constructability and cost efficiency.
