[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS-users Digest, Vol 128, Issue 23

[asit mishra]

Hello Brad,
                I have observed this happening (while taking readings with
a globe thermometer) for locations near fenestration in summer. So, if you
have a significant percentage of wall area covered by fenestration, this
could happen. I cannot explain the winter situation though.

Regards,
Asit
