Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Green walls and water flowing on the wall

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

0.  Green roofs are on the "wish list" of features, but there is no current 
plan to implement this.

1.  OtherSideCoefficients can be used to force the outside surface temperature 
to be a scheduled value or a function of zone temperature, outdoor dry bulb, 
and wind speed.  (Input Output Reference, v1.2.1, p. 183, pdf p. 213)

2.  The best you can do is use OtherSideCoefficients to approximate the outside 
surface temperature, but this would eliminate any solar gains which might 
impact the surface through the water film.
