Earth sheltering uses earth against building walls to provide thermal mass and reduce heat loss, allowing indoor air temperatures to remain steady. It is a passive solar and sustainable architectural practice that is popular today among its advocates. Earth sheltering has a long history, having been used for nearly as long as humans have been constructing shelter.

Earth sheltering is the architectural practice of using earth against building walls for
external thermal mass, to reduce heat loss, and to easily maintain a steady indoor air temperature. Earth sheltering is popular in modern times among advocates of passive solar and sustainable architecture, but has been around for nearly as long as humans have been constructing their own shelter.
