You are trying to simulate possible energy reductions due to effects of thermal 
mass. As far as I understand this, a reduction of heating energy is only 
possible if a different source of energy is used, e.g. suns energy. So with a 
high thermal mass you can utilize (store) more sun energy over the day without 
overheating a room than with a low thermal mass wall.

--> So, is there a window in your simulation where the sunlight can enter the 
room? Does the window get obscured, when the room temperature gets too high?
