Passive solar applications. Consideration of the properties of brick masonry could result in a thermal storage media that is an aesthetic, durable, maintenance free, fire resistant structural component of a building that provides sound transmission reduction. This information may be used in conjunction with the procedures in Technical Notes 43E to select the appropriate thickness of brick masonry thermal storage walls. In addition, sufficient values of the material properties of brick masonry are provided for passive solar energy system analysis techniques, manual or computer calculations. The decision to use the information and concepts presented in this Technical Notes is not within the purview of the Brick Institute of America, and must rest with the designer or owner of any specific project.
