    Suburbs,                 !- Terrain

    3.9999999E-02,           !- Loads Convergence Tolerance Value

    0.4000000,               !- Temperature Convergence Tolerance Value {deltaC}

    FullInteriorAndExterior, !- Solar Distribution

    25,                      !- Maximum Number of Warmup Days
