RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Modeling bermed structures

[Ian Doebber <ian.doebber@xxxxxxxx>]

I remember reading a paper comparing actual data from an underground house
with data calculated from EnergyPlus.  I believe it was from New Zealand.
It looked into the issue of running EnergyPlus over several years of
simulation to account for the extreme thermal delay associated with ground
coupling.  Try the EnergyPlus documentation page for papers.  Maybe someone
else can jog my memory.

 

Good Luck,

If you simulate your model for an entire year you will see the thermal 
capacitance effects for that entire year.  If you simulate it for 1 day you 
will see the effects for a 24 hour period.
