[EnergyPlus_Support] temperature curve

[vamsi gooje <vkgooje@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm simulating a building with no HVAC system.
As there is no facility to input detailed ground temperatures, I've used monthly average temperatures. I observed a 5 F delta in the floor temperatures from the actual data that was recorded.
I believe because of this the entire zone surface temperatures are slightly higher than expected. So I'm curios how much difference it would really make by assigning a temperature curve (from actual data collected in the building) to the floor for a span of four days. Could somebody elaborate on how this could be done?
Thanks.
