Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] geometry description

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

Yes, a floor/ceiling must be entered twice, once as a floor and once 
as a ceiling.

Yes, you need two constructions, one in reverse order.

Unless your exterior walls are extremely thick, surfaces may be 
described to meet interior, center-line, or exterior dimensions, 
whatever is most convenient from the building drawings.
