In my opinion, the easiest way to get the ground temperatures
would not be through DOE-2 Hourly Reports, although I'm sure that
can be done, but by reading them from the weather file using the
WTHFMT2 utility program that converts the file from binary to
text. There are just 12 numbers for monthly ground temperatures,
shown on line 2 of the *.FMT files. By the way, I think that
DOE-2 does some smoothing or interpolation of the monthly ground
temperatures; right now if you look at the hourly heat transfer
through Underground walls or floors, you'll see a wierd staircase
effect with the same load for a whole month, and then a jump to a
different load the next month, etc.<br>

<div>Dear eQuest Users,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would you please let me know which report would give me
the deep ground temperatures used in ground heat transfer
calculations of eQuest? I used to select an hourly report
variable to make DOE-2.1e report these values, but I am not
sure how to get these values from eQuest. Would you help me
with this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you very much in advance for your help,</div>
<div>Best Regards,</div>
