[EnergyPlus_Support] OtherSideCoefficient Outside Boundary Condition in windows.



Hi, I'm Gerard Mor, a beginner user in EnergyPlus, I'm doing a calibration of a building that I was simulated in EnergyPlus. Briefly, I want to know if I can put a Outside Boundary Condition like OtherSideCoefficient or similar in a FenestrationSurface object (a window).

I must do it because I'm simulating a building that has a façade in contact with a greenhouse that was previously monitorized, so I want introduce the known temperatures in my simulation.
You might think that I can put the temperatures in the EPW, but the other façades of the building are in contact with outside temperature and these i already put it in the EPW.

So the solution I thought was this: 
Put a boundary condition at the façade called "SurfaceProperty: OtherSideCoefficients" and this object, associated with a "Schedule: Compact" that has all the temperatures hourly in the days that I'm doing the calibration, but, when I was doing it and I ran the simulation, the program sended me a Several Error. It says me that the OtherSideCoefficients object for a Outside Boundary Condition in windows is not allowed.

What I can do?

Sorry for my bad english, my native language is spanish.
