<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello Brad,<br></div> 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.<br><br></div>Regards,<br></div>Asit<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 5:45 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:trnsys-users-request@lists.onebuilding.org" target="_blank">trnsys-users-request@lists.onebuilding.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send TRNSYS-users mailing list submissions to<br>
