Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] I add a window, but the temperature inside the building doen't change

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

The shoebox is unconditioned, but the ground temperatures under the slab are 17-
21C which is representative of a conditioned space.  So, the ground 
temperatures are driving the entire simulation for this model.  The window is 
small and it has similar thermal properties to the exterior walls (window u-
value=6, wall u-value=4).  To see the impact you expect, either change the 
ground temperatures, or decouple the floor from the ground.
