Offshore facilities I know of are build on stillts, meaning the whole facility is suspended above the water and the floor is instead adjacent to air (outdoor).

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
