Thermal mass as a concept is most frequently applied in the field of building design. In this context, thermal mass provides 'inertia' against temperature fluctuations. For example, for a building, when outside temperatures are fluctuating throughout the day, a large thermal mass within the insulated portion of the house can serve to 'flatten out' the daily temperature fluctuations, since the thermal mass will absorb heat when the surroundings are hotter than the mass,and give heat back when the surroundings are cooler.
