Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: ASHRAE 90.1 and BuildingGroundSurfaceTemperature



Hi Ooi,

Yeah I can add insulation myself. I am was wondering if the Example File Generator used vertical insulation to calculate the ground temperature values for the DOE climate zones 6,7 and 8. If not then I might have to add insulation myself and run the basement program for the buildingsurfacetemperature values.

Thanks for responding.

Hi Niraj, Can you not add the insulation into the construction of your floor? ooi
