<p>Ilyas,</p>
<p> If you are talking about Type56 then the thermal capacitance of
the walls are already taken into account in the wall model by your
definition of the wall materials. The thermal capacitance that
you're being asked to specify is the thermal capacitance of
everything else in the zone (furnishings, air, contents). A
typical value would be about volume*1.2*5 (ie. five times the
thermal capacitance of the air contained in the zone).</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>

<div>The thermal capacity for a dwelling. In reinforced concrete
(heavy): capacitance = volume * 150. Is that logical?</div>
