12. Water as a thermal mass allows strategic heat transfer. On a summer day, the cooler water absorbs heat from inside the prototype.

13. On a winter day, the lower sun angle allows for more direct light into the prototype. Lower water levels means the water tank absorbs less ambient heat from the internal environment.
