One disadvantage of double/full brick is it has too much thermal mass. Like someone mentioned before, in long hot days the brick absorb a lot of heat durng the day and it takes much longer to cool down the house. To get the house temperature down, your air-conditioner will need to cool down all the brick walls first. Same issue in winter, if the weather is not that great, it takes a lot of effort to heat up the house. All the brick walls need to be heated first before the house will feel warm. And brick is not good insulator. So your heater will need to run very hard to keep inside warm, while the brick wall is actually drawing the heat to outside. Think of the energy cost. |
