One of the significant benefits of rammed earth constructions is its excellent thermal mass; it heats up slowly during the day and releases its heat during the evening. This can even-out daily temperature variations and reduce the need for air conditioning and heating. Rammed earth is often insulated in colder climates. The thickness and density of the walls lends itself naturally to sound-proofing and the materials used in the walls make them virtually fireproof.
