Question
Why are mud houses more thermally comfortable than brick houses?
Solution
Mud's poor conductivity of heat makes mud houses cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This property prevents external heat from entering and internal heat from escaping, thus maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
