Answer 1

Answer: It banks night-time cool to bring temperatures down in the day, and warms up over the course of the day and then releases the warmth at night. Thick walls or exposed solid floors can provide thermal mass. The shape of buildings matters too, and the orientation around each other so that the wind moves in particular ways. Hope this helps, tell me if I need to add anything. :))
