 In some publications, including various articles on the internet, emphasis is placed on the influence of the thermal storage capacity of buildings, claiming that improving the thermal insulation of external walls is pointless or even damaging. Allegedly, the effects of the thermal storage capacity of a wall and the heat gains from solar radiation are insufficiently, or not at all, taken into account by scientists.  In some publications, including various articles on the internet, emphasis is placed on the influence of the thermal storage capacity of buildings, claiming that improving the thermal insulation of external walls is pointless or even damaging.

 This equation has proved to be consistently effective in physics and technology. Such different things like heat transfer in stars, in semi-conductor devices, brake pads and many others can be calculated in good correlation with measurements. This equation also applies in building physics – and the calculations made using it correspond just as well with building physical measurements as shown in [[planning:thermal_protection:thermal_protection_works:Thermal protection vs. thermal storage#Theory and practice (measurement)|the following example]]. This equation has proved to be consistently effective in physics and technology.
