OK explanation of winter benefits but a missed opportunity to up front clearly explain the benefits and mechanisms of thermal mass cooling (gets there in the end though) and the role of thermal mass in sub-tropical climates when its winter and not humid and in summer when days are still way hotter than the nights and thermal mass will benefit even in SE QLD..
That woman really had no idea what she was talking about. Just listen to her first sentence. "WOW, I have no idea how to explain this!" Of course this is followed by her saying the same thing over and over in different ways. Bullshitting doesn't end after high school I guess. The guy was much much better.

Thank you
Insulate the thermal mass on the Outside (cold side).
see Dry Stacked Concrete Blocks
How is this related to IR-heating and solar panels?

In the Heart of Vancouver Island BC Canada passive videosth-cam.com/users/seumas2videos
Material used
Port
Alberni's first Passive house (Passivhause) build in the heart of
Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada.
Passive
House(Passivehaus) is considered to be the most rigorous
voluntary energy-based standard in design and construction industry
today.
Passive
house buildings consume up to 90 percent less heating and cooling
energy than conventional building.
The
use of Passive House design software was used to gain the specs
required to meet the performance standard for this location.
House
was constructed well above the current standards as outlined in
the B.C. Building Code.
Footings
were widen to 36 inches(914 mm) due to low bearing soil conditions
and additional rebar reinforcement added.
30
inch high (762 mm) high reinforced walls . Course sand placed inside
foundation walls and mechanically compacted.
Three
layers of four inch *102 mm) thick Expanded
polystyrene foam sheets with all joints staggered and tape were
placed on top of compacted sand.
The
three layers of foam have insulation value of approximately R 50.
A
20 mil layer of poly was placed over the E.P.S. sheets and taped and
sealed.
Four
inches(102 mm) of 30 m.p.a fiber reinforced concrete was placed to
form a slab over the foam based.
Slab
is isolated from concrete stem wall with four inches (102 mm) of
E.P.S. to prevent thermal loss.
All
cold water lines are buried in the sand to keep them cool, hot water
lines have been placed in the center layer of foam insulation to
minimize heat loss.
Wall
plates compress to heavy beads of acoustic sealant between layers of
vapor barrier to prevent air movement.
The
walls are double stud configuration set at 24 inches (610 mm) on
centre and plates are spaced in a manner that yield a 20 inch (508
mm) thick wall. 1/2 inch (12 mm) standard plywood sheathing with
Mento 1000 a three layer airtight vapor open house wrap( far superior
to common house wraps) with 1/2 inch(12 mm) pressured treated plywood
rain screen battens form the exterior surface.
Intello
smart vapour barrier was installed one third in from the inside wall
to prevent condensation in this climate.
Triple
pane argon filled windows meeting passive house standards from
Euroline were placed mid wall to reduce wind wash heat loss.
All window openings have been splayed at 45 degrees to give a full
wide angle view.
Almost
all the wiring and plumbing was kept inside of the vapor barrier
envelope to minimize air leakage.
Passive
house standard requires air leakage not to exceed .6 Air
changes per hour at 50 pascal.
Zehnder
comfoair 200 HRV has been installed with a 1000 watt air preheater
.(92 percent heat recovery rate)
House
has been pre- plumbed for a heat pump water heater reducing
domestic water heating cost significantly.
Garage
has been pre-wired for 40 amp/240 volt electric car charging
station.
House
to be equipped with heat pump condensing dryer which
requires no external venting,only a water waste line. George K

Want if there is no sun to absorb ...can then heat be absorbed from the heater rather
So let's spend almost 14 minutes poorly explaining a simple concept. Brilliant.
Seriously lol
Appreciate someone efforts teaching or learning,
Give a simple answer geez
