Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Cooling&solar gains

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

There is not enough information here to answer this question.  Thermal mass and 
the timing of solar gains can result in some gains not actually becoming a 
cooling load.  If you have a specific question about a specific result, please 
load the input files into the problem submittals folder in the yahoo group 
files area.
