Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] EnergyPlus Validation
My initial guess would be that the convection coefficients being used
by EnergyPlus do not match those assumed in the test specifications.
In EnergyPlus, turn on the reporting for
Surface Int Convection Coeff
Surface Ext Convection Coeff
Then compare these with the specifications.
