Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Add a basement

[v s <vs114@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem i had and drive me to the solution of "basement"
was that when the floor had NO insulation, i needed 500Kwh for heating.
When i added 3mm insulation, i needed 2500Kwh for heating.

Is this logical?
(warm climate)

A "walk out basement" might be below grade on one or more walls.  There will be a warning message that it can't do the height specific calculations it uses on surfaces/walls.  The warning can be ignored.
