Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] No Cooling load during the summer

Probably should check the effective ground temperature. Did you use the Slab program to calculate that?  EnergyPlus doesn't use 'ground' temperature -- the building does affect the temperature.  Otherwise you'll have the effect you saw.

Thanks Karen. I didn't realize that the ground (heat sink) would have that big of an effect on the mean indoor temperature. I appreciate you spending the time to figure this out for me.
