If you don't define ground temps in the IDF, then it will use those from the weather file. Check the inputoutputreferenceguide.PDF on how eplus uses the concept of ground temperatures.
ÂThanks a lot for your reply. How could i find the references to ground temperatures? is the ground temperature included in the weather file which i imported in EnergyPlus? Or do i nedd to find the input file of Slab /basement Utility?
Best WishesJoe
