RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Possible causes

This may allow you to specify all the special wall and roof conditions surrounding your zone.  The values are entered as a schedule.

Ground temperature of 14°C is too low as a general number.

When the ground is snow and ice covered, it is only cold down to about 1m depth along the basement wall.  Surface with salt will be colder.  However, it will not be at the basement wall.

The ground below a basement should be higher than 18°C..

I'm simulation a summer week and have cooling set point not met problems. As far as I can tell there's something wrong with my building materials?

etc. last reported error is at 09:00-09:05

This causes slightly incorrect sizing and later

What should I be looking for? Can I tell on which surface this is happening and how?

I have set the ground temperature to 14 degrees, because by building slab is the roof of a large underground parking (no contact to ground), but this is not changing during the summer months. Is there a way to change this for the summer months...EMS maybe?
