Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Emissivity in Mate rial

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure where you searched.  I used the search capabilities of the 
documentation and

In the Material object:

Field: Thermal Absorptance
The thermal absorptance field in the Material input syntax represents 
the fraction of incident
long wavelength radiation that is absorbed by the material. This 
parameter is used when
calculating the long wavelength radiant exchange between various 
surfaces and affects the
surface heat balances (both inside and outside as appropriate). For 
long wavelength radiant
exchange, thermal emissivity and thermal emittance are equal to thermal 
absorptance.
Values for this field must be between 0.0 and 1.0 (with 1.0 
representing “black body”
conditions).
