the wall gain (whether a constant value, an input, or a schedule) is 
just a way of artificially adding (or removing) energy from the interior 
of the wall. My understanding of it is that it is a very simplified way 
of looking at radiant surface potential. I have never had occasion to 
change it from its default value of 0.
Best,
