In theory this means that the body is dealing with a cooler environment.</p> <p>In practice, when I go for evening rides and runs my body remains warm for hours, and that heat, during a heat wave, in a minergie building makes it unbearable.</p> <p>For a few days it was cooling, and I had stopped using fans. I questioned why. I suspect that it is because when the building is exposed to heat wave temperatures for several days the air heats, but eventually the buildings&rsquo; structure begins to radiate its own stored heat energy. This means that you&rsquo;re dealing with hot air, which isn&rsquo;t bad. It&rsquo;s when the building becomes a radiator that it becomes unpleasant.</p>
