<p dir="ltr">You could create a new construction with an R-1000 custom material, so assembly U-value becomes near-zero. While at it, might also change its solar reflectance to near-1 (unsure whether that helps). Save that, open the inp in Excel. Use an if-then criteria in an additional helper column or VBA and change all fake roofs' constructions to this R-1000 construction. Hopefully that does it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the if-then criteria, you may have options such as looking at floor-Z coordinates. Anything below certain Z value gets the fix..</p>
