So for reference, what is included in the thermal capacitance in Type56? Is it anything that's a solid object or anything that's within a room? Is it realistic to assume the furniture in a room is always the same temperature as the air?
It's anything that you want to consider as having additional mass where the temperature of that mass can be considered to be at the room temperature. Most people assume that the furniture, carpeting, artwork, etc. is at the room temperature.
