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>
