A heuristic is developed specifying that temperatures in replica-exchange simulations should be spaced such that about 20% of the phase-swap attempts are accepted. The result is found to be independent of the heat capacity, suggesting that it may be applied generally despite being based on an assumption of (piecewise-) constant heat capacity.
