	abstract = {With the increasing integration of volatile renewable energy sources in the electricity grid, the focus is shifting from electricity production to demand side management (DSM), especially in the energy-intensive building sector. There are various methods to evaluate building mass as an energy flexible thermal storage, similar to an efficiency label. While previous studies have investigated factors that affect the derived storage capacity, none have statistically quantified the effective storage capacity over a whole year, particularly comparing the results for rule-based and schedule-based control. In this study, we found that the rule-based control assigns approximately 40% less effective storage capacity to the building mass than the schedule-based control, despite the same average duration. This should be considered when using standardized KPIs for evaluating the energy flexible building mass.},
