Worse in hot/clim<strong>at</strong>es wheremore air-c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>ing is needed. Additi<strong>on</strong>al thermal resistance because he<strong>at</strong>transfer is not as effective: basic property <strong>of</strong>effusivity (square root <strong>of</strong> the product <strong>of</strong>thermal c<strong>on</strong>ductivity and he<strong>at</strong> capacity perunit volume) is smaller by a factor <strong>of</strong> 100.
