Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] looking for exterior surface temperatures

[Edwin Lee <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dave:

The surface outdoor dry bulb represents the outdoor dry bulb temperature at the surface height.  This is only used if you have a high building where you would input variation in outdoor temperature with height.  

For surface outside temperature, use the second one.

Hello all -

I am looking for the hourly output variable that will give me exterior surface temperatures of the building. Does anyone know the difference between:

Output:Variable,*,Surface Ext Outdoor Dry Bulb,hourly; !- Zone Average [C]

and

Output:Variable,*,Surface Outside Temperature,hourly; !- Zone Average [C]

or is there another output variable that I should look for?

thanks a million

dave
