    <p>There are two possibilities. The first is to compute the thermal
      mass of the stuff and set that value as the thermal capacitance of
      the Type56 zone (I assume you are using Type56). This option
      assumes that the air of the zone and the stuff in the zone are
      always at the same temperature. If that is not a good assumption
      and you want to characterize the air and the stuff as having
      different temperatures then you might look at the TESS Loads and
      Structures library where you will find a lumped capacitance model.
      Again, you'd compute the thermal mass of the stuff in the zone and
      set the lumped capacitance accordingly. However, the lump and the
      zone would then impact each other by means of the temperature of
      the space (passed from 56 to the lump) and convective and
      radiative energy gains (passed from the lump back to Type56).</p>
