I didn't spell it out, but the idea is predicated on having well insulated walls and a moisture barrier between the insulated walls and the clay plaster.
And yes, whenever moisture is evaporated, it absorbs heat (that's why your heat pump electric use has been ticking up since your new humidifier) and when it condenses, it releases heat.
