[TRNSYS-users] Ground Convection coefficient

[David BRADLEY]

As noted in TRNBuild (where you set the back side convection 
coefficient), a value smaller than 0.001 is used to indicate direct 
contact between a BOUNDARY wall and a temperature. A large value (such 
as 999) is used with other wall categories (ADJACENT, EXTERNAL, etc.) to 
indicate good thermal contact.
Best,
  David
