Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How is Ground defined in EnergyPlus?
Ground temperature is only used for those surfaces with
GROUND contact.
There is a ground reflection object that you can use.
Suggest you also read the Auxiliary Programs document about "Ground
Heat Transfer".

We can specify monthly average
temperature for the "ground" in EnergyPlus.
But how is this affect the simulation, especially those surfaces touching
the ground surface or near it?
I mean we don't need to literally model the ground surface in EnergyPlus,
but how dose it affect the thermal environment, such as reflecting solar
radiation to building surfaces, radiating heat towards building surfaces
when the ground is heated up?
BTW, is there a ground reflection parameter we can adjust in
EnergyPlus?
Thank you very much in advance!
