Hi thank you for the suggestion. However, as I am still at the beginner stage in using Energyplus, may I know how do I proceed in doing this 'work around' method? How do I add the thickness of the pond water and the specific heat, conductivity and density of water with an adaptive convection coefficient. In addition it must be on the roof layer of the simple rectangular form.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you!
