You might want to try using BuildingSurface:Detailed to describe your surfaces and set the Outside Boundary Condition field to OtherSideCoefficients and the Outside Boundary Condition Object to a SurfaceProperty:OtherSideCoefficients object you create with either a constant temperature or a sinusoidal temperature variation. Read the sections in the InputOutputReference to learn more about these objects.

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone can give me a tip about how to simulate with E+ in different soil condition, in this case for an offshore building. How can I change the "soil" proprietis into an oceanic simulation, water-like external condition? The Building:Terrain command as written in Input-output reference changes just the external air flow. Do I have to use the Site:GroundTemperature command and change all the proprieties or is there a smarter way?
Thank you
