Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] several questions

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

1.  Did you include a thermostat?  Are the zone air temperatures within range?  
See the PurchAir example file.

2a.  For an interior wall with no zone on the other side, set the outside 
environment to OtherZoneSurface and specify the same surface as the other side 
object (the surface is linked to itself).  This is discussed in the I/O 
Reference.

2b. You specify ground temperatures in the input.  For the most accurate 
results, you should run the Slab program to generate monthly ground 
temperatures.  See the Auxiliary Programs document for details.
