The invention comprises a system for calculating a value for the effective thermal mass of a building. The climate control system obtains temperature measurements from at least a first location conditioned by the climate system. One or more processors receive measurements of outside temperatures from at least one source other than the control system and compare the temperature measurements from the first location with expected temperature measurements. The expected temperature measurements are based at least in part upon past temperature measurements obtained by said HVAC control system and said outside temperature measurements. The processors then calculate one or more rates of change in temperature at said first location.

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for generating and displaying earth science system models where global earth data is collected, the global earth data including image data and text data, the global earth data further including atmospheric data, hydrospheric data, lithospheric data, cryospheric data, biospheric data, and/or anthrospheric data. Still graphical reference images may also be available as overlays. The collected global data is processed into images and common format data products. There are two types of images, a base layer, which included the data over a map of the earth and the overlay, which has just the data and no earth image. The second global image (transparency layer) can be superimposed over the first global image (base layer). The following can be selected by the end user, the base layer data, the adjustable transparency layer data, the time range, the global orientation and speed, the rate of data advancement, and a zoom function. Animation sequences can be generated by the end-user for any of the above selections.
