Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Tempature outside the buildings

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

EnergyPlus is very sensitive to different outside temperatures.  There is no 
way to specify a different outside temperature for different parts of the 
building.  The only approach I can think of is to edit the weather file and run 
the entire building at the warmer temperature.  To edit the weather data, use 
the weather converter to convert your base weather file to csv format, then use 
a spreadsheet program to alter the outdoor dry bulb temperature, then convert 
it back to epw format.
