Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] higher temperature, lower cooling rate

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

Are you sure that the walls are facing the way you intend?  Have you reviewed 
the tilt, azimuth, and area of the surfaces in the "Surfaces, Details" report?  
Are you perhaps tilting the walls in such a way that they are being shaded by 
other surfaces?
