[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: wall and roof color
If you want your walls to be black then
0.9000000 , !- Thermal Emittance
0.9500000 , !- Solar Absorptance
if you walls are white then
0.9000000 , !- Thermal Emittance
0.2600000 , !- Solar Absorptance
the values vary and you could look up them from any heat
transfer book. The values i have written are at 30Deg C.

feel free to cross check the values from any data book. The values
vary with temperature, roughness which will be very difficult to
quantize.
