[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Heat Loss through Exterior Walls

["sara" <my_sunny_night@xxxxxxxxx>]

Karen,

I mean that like the variables for window heat loss/gain, such as "Zone,Average,Window Heat Gain", "Zone,Sum,Window Heat Gain Energy", and "Zone,Average,Zone Window Heat Gain", I've searched in the RDD file such variables for walls. But, I didn't find anything.

Thanks,
Sara
