Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Why Inside and Outside face temperaures for a floor surface are same ?

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You've called it an adiabatic surface -- by definition both
sides will have the same conditions/temperatures.

InternalMass is used to describe partitions within a zone. Adiabatic
surfaces describe surfaces that may have contact with other zones -- but
both zones are assumed to have the same conditions.  (ergo, the same
temperatures on both sides).
