It confirms my answer.
No strong difference between high and low thermal capacity (density*specific heat) for the insulation product fully in line with other several investigations and papers

You should try using very extreme conditions.
I used periodic conditions in the weather file (and there was no internal loads, no ventilation or infiltration) and the period was equal to 24 hours.
The internal space was conditioned and I got the following results for different materials in the external wall composition: http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/109/6khg.jpg
With the finite different method I got similar results.

For thermal mass to be effective in offsetting HVAC operation, the mass must be cooling (heated) to below (above) the zone temperature so that energy is stored in the mass. This means you must undershoot (overshoot) the zone temperature set point before you turn off the system.

Actually sir i want to estimate the energy saving by using thermal mass, So I shut off my system 2 to 3 hour before it's schedule. If there is thermal mass effect in energyplus, then my zone temperature is maintain around set point, so cooling energy not required in last 2 or 3 hour and save the energy. this is what i am thinking but its not happening in modeling. So plz tell mo how can i do it ?

You can run your model using IdeaLoad system controlled by a constant (or variable) thermostat and after compare District Heating and Cooling in both cases
According my experience differences are quite small.

Sir
I want to find out the effect of Thermal mass, so i model two type of different wall having almost same U-value but different heat capacity
( density X specific heat ) and simulate. But the profile of zone temperature for 24 hour are same. So how can i model the thermal mass effect ?
