Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] report



Opaque Surface Inside Face Conduction is intended for detailed examination of 
the heat balance on a particular inside surface, primarly to support 
comparisons with measured data.  It is not meaningful as a component of the 
current heating or cooling load.  Surfaces interact with the zone air heat 
balance by convection.  So, the value of most interest is 
(SurfaceInsideTemperature - ZoneAir Temperature) * SurfaceArea * 
SurfaceInsideConvectionCoefficient to calculate the current load due to the 
surfaces.  This will include the current load due to solar gains, because solar 
becomes a load by warming a surface.

For an example of comparing the load with a hand calculation, see files 
UAdeltaT,zip and UAdeltaT2.zip in
