Maurice,

   I'd recommend doing some tests to confirm to yourself that 
capacitance is indeed having an impact. Start the building (or zone) 
with a high temperature and just let it cool down in a constant 
temperature, no solar environment. Now change the capacitance by an 
order of magnitude then do the test again. The zone should cool down 
either more slowly or more quickly depending on whether you multiplied 
or divided the capacitance by 10. I usually use a value of the 
volume*1.2*1.007*f where f is a multiplier that ranges between about 5 
and 10.

kind regards,

  David
