Thermal lag

Thermal Lag(s)=L2αΩ

## Examples

In buildings with concrete or masonry walls, thermal lag can result in a difference between the highest interior and highest outdoor temperatures several hours apart. This delay may shift cooling loads to later periods, when air-conditioning systems can operate with cooler outdoor conditions or when the building is not being actively cooled.[1]
