I’d expect building inertia (and heater inertia, and water-flow and -temperature inertia) are important to both pre-heating effectively, and to smoothing out any spikes. The other factor in the spikes is probably the cost function—are you modeling constraints like minimum time to heat and rapid-cycling maintenance increase?
