[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Ground Temperature: Building Surface

Why don't you just use the technique described in the documentation?

OK. I have reread the section in I/O manual.
"GroundHeatTransfer:Control
The GroundHeatTransfer:Control object determines if the Slab and Basement preprocessors are going to be executed. When a Slab or Basement run is performed the results are saved in files with extensions .SLAB or .BSMT so that they do not need to be rerun if no input changes are made to the GroundHeatTransfer:Slab or GroundHeatTransfer:Basement objects."

I have never done it but here is my understanding.
add a GroundHeatTransfer:Control object to run the preprocessor. It will calculate the ground temperatures to use from the climate file you spécified. Get the results in the .SLAB or .BSMT file and enter those results in the relevent ground temp objects.

Let me know it that does it.
I am learning as well.
Cheers.
