<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>On a related note: I have run a number of simulations in DOE-2 and talked with others about using mass in a structure, with and without the night flush algorithms capability. With custom weighting factors or not, it seems very difficult to show any net benefit from mass in the structure. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Have others found that they can show significant energy benefit in DOE-2 from the use of mass i.e. from delay of cooling loads into unoccupied hours? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Any success with the night flush routines?</FONT>
