I agree that sealing and thermal mass are important factors.
I also suggest that thermal mass becomes less important in an arctic
climate because storing solar energy from the day and releasing it at
night isn't practical when the sun barely comes up during the winter.
Thermal mass is still a factor, though.

out my stuff and make my case. It has to do with more than just the
insulative value using the current measuring/calculating method. And
to the best of my recollection, it has absolutely nothing to do with
the cost of oil other than how it effects the cost of producing the
insulation. It has MUCH more to do with how well the structure's
sealed and where the thermal mass is placed.
