[Ibpsausa] Groundwater temperature estimating

[Neal Kruis]

Andrew,

EnergyPlus has source for the Kusuda algorithm here
<https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/blob/develop/src/EnergyPlus/GroundTemperatureModeling/KusudaAchenbachGroundTemperatureModel.cc#L188>.
As Joe mentioned, this is a pretty crude estimate. For a more accurate
estimate you might want to use a finite difference calculation that takes
into account the surface boundary conditions (solar, wind, IR radiation to
the sky, etc.).
