</a>the slab utility use is described in the Auxiliary Programs document
and you can also embed objects into your IDF and have the slab program
run automatically.<br><br>

I tried to use the slab utility program but couldn't get the desired
results. Can you please help me on that, how to use that program?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<dd>Dear Sandeep,<br>
<dd>I used slab utility programe of energy plus to get the temperature of
outside face temperatures for the core area and the perimeter area of the
slab.Go through the "Ground Heat Transfer in EnergyPlus" in the
auxiliary programs document of energy plus. <br>
<dd>Regards,<br>

<dd>Yes, the weather file does have ground temperatures but its given for
different no. of ground temperature depths and is not clear. Further the
weatehr file ground temperatures are undisturbed ground temperatures, and
as per the EnergyPlus documentation, its not appropriate to take these
values for simulation <br><br>

<dd>You can convert the epw files to CSV so that you can take a look at
them with the energy plus weather utility, if I remember
correctly. <br><br>

<dd> <br><br>
<dd>Hi everyone<br><br>
<dd> <br><br>
<dd>The Energy plus documentation specifies that for typical commercial
buildings in the USA, a reasonable default value for ground temperature:
building surface is 2 degC less than the average indoor space
temperature.<br><br>
<dd>What could be a probable default ground temperature for Indian
climates, say New Delhi or Jaipur?<br><br>
<dd> <br><br>
<dd>Thanks<br><br>
<dd>Sandeep<br><br>
