Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Add a basement

[v s <vs114@xxxxxxxxx>]

I set 18 for winter, 20 for spring and 22 for summer.
In the "outside boundary condition" in "building surface detailed", there is no adiabatic .

what did you set as your ground temperatures.

to be safe set the outside boundary condition of the floor as "adiabatic" -- while this says there is no heat transfer to the ground, there will also be no confusion of heat transfer FROM the ground.

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)
