[EnergyPlus_Support] Radiator mass

Dear alls, I am simulating a building with an heating plant made of a 
boiler and aluminum radiators. When I switch off the boiler the indoor 
air temperature decay is more fast than in the real working conditions 
(there is a very sharp initial decay and then the trend is quite similar 
between real data and simulated ones, but some degrees lower for the 
simulation). I would like to input in the simulation also the mass of 
the radiators and relative water content (that remain hot for a certain 
period after the boiler switching off), but I cannot find any suitable 
parameter in the baseboard object or others. Any suggestion?

Thank you very much. Roberto
