Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Qestions on dry bulb temp and weather file for singapore

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

If I understand correclty, this is a single zone with walls and roof 
made of concrete located near the equator.  Since the Singapoer 
weather file is broken, I found a non-IWEC TMY file on the EnergyPlus 
web site for MHL_Kwajalein.Atoll_TMY.rpt ({N  8° 43'} {E 167° 43'}.

In this run, the peak indoor dry bulb of 33.4C occurs on September 29 
at 18:00.  The outdoor dry bulb for that day peaks at 33.1C at 13:00. 
 The solar gains drive the outside surface temperature of the roof to 
51.7C at 14:00, and at 18:00 the roof temp is still at 40.8C.  The 
delay is due to the thermal mass of the concrete, the fact that it is 
higher than the outdoor dry bulb is due to the solar gains on the 
roof.
