wood-fired boiler
Betriebsverhalten Kessel
Das Betriebsverhalten des Kessels im Zusammenwirken mit dem hydraulischen System bei Start aus kaltem Zustand muss besonders beobachtet werden. Dabei muss
- zuerst der Kessel seinen eigenen Wasserinhalt
einschließlich seines Materialgewichtes aufheizen.
- der Wassergehalt des Heizungssystems (Rohrleitungen, Heizkörper, Fußbodenspeichermasse, etc.) aufgeheizt werden.

Selected
floor['s] thermal mass
thermal mass = Speichermasse (according to Langenscheidt Fachwörterbuch)
Hence my suggestion is "floor thermal mass" as a possibility.
e.g.:
If the floor's thermal mass is large enough, the heat stored in it will keep the house comfortable for eight to ten hours, without any further electrical input (particularly when daytime temperatures are significantly warmer than nighttime temperatures). This saves a considerable number of energy dollars compared to heating at peak electric rates during the day.

Fluid Temperature Control — The temperature of the floor thermal mass is extremely crucial to the proper performance of an HRF system. ...

This figure shows that the largest reduction is due to solar heat gain through windows because of floor thermal mass and heat conduction from the roof.

To quantify the benefits of an additional sunspace in various modes of operation (buffer, conservatory-testroom air interchange, solar ventilation pre-heat, varying floor thermal mass).
