How do "thick" walls actually reduce the amount of solar heat gain in buildings ?

on

Hey guys.

While studying HVAC load estimations it was mentioned that for solar radiation, the amount of heat transferred into the conditioned space is affected by the thickness of the wall, where the decrement factor decreases and the time lag increases by increasing the wall thickness.

I'm trying to understand how the amount of transferred heat decreases and how it's "release time" is delayed, but I'm having a hard time, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
