Re: AW: [EnergyPlus_Support] Internal surface




It is generally recommended that such surfaces be described without geometry 
using Surface:HeatTransfer:InternalMass.  The total surface area of the 
internal mass surface should equal the total exposed surface area (top and 
bottom).   If you want to describe such a surface with full geometry, then you 
would need to describe it twice, once facing up and once facing down.
