Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] high surface temperature

[Rick Strand <rkstrand@xxxxxxxx>]

Hannah:

It is difficult to give you any advice about the validity of the surface 
temperatures you are seeing because the text of your message is relatively 
vague.  How much higher are the temperatures than you are 
expecting?  EnergyPlus does have an initialization process that it goes 
through, but it should iterate enough days during the warmup process to 
eliminate the initial conditions.  If you like, you can send me your input 
file and I will see if the temperatures seem unreasonable.  That would 
allow me to look at your other concern as well.
