Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] A question about ceiling height

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 From the InputOutputReference, page # 109

Field: Ceiling Height
Zone ceiling height is used in several areas within EnergyPlus. Energyplus 
automatically
calculates the zone ceiling height (m) from the average height of the zone. 
If this field is 0.0
or negative, then the calculated zone ceiling height will be used in 
subsequent calculations. If
this field is positive, then the calculated zone ceiling height will not be 
used -- the number
entered here will be used as the zone ceiling height. If this number 
differs significantly from
the calculated ceiling height, then a warning message will be issued.

Note that the Zone Ceiling Height is the distance from the Floor to the 
Ceiling in the Zone, not
an absolute height from the ground.
