Determining the "optimal" thermal mass is a lot more difficult to do
mathematically than insulation R factors. I won't be trying to
document numbers for that. I also think we are in agreement in
principle anyway.
"Lots-O-Mass" is a good idea in general, but there are always the odd
exceptions.
In extremely humid tropical climates large thermal mass can cause
problems with condensation unless reliable dehumidification is used.
