    <p>  You can use a different mode of Type15 to read *.epw files. If
      Type15 is already in your project, right click on it and select
      "replace" from the context menu. You'll find the *.epw reading
      version of the Type15 proforma in Weather Data Reading and

                <div class="">Your approach of connecting the soil
                  temperature to the boundary temperature will work but
                  will likely over-estimate the loads - sometimes
                  significantly.  The storage in the ground around the
                  basement can play an important role.  There are
                  several good ground modeling components out there but
                  I would recommend Type1267 from TESS after looking at
                  your schematic.  The model will likely slow down the
                  simulation but will provide MUCH more realistic
                  results.  And with the included soil temperature
                  viewer you'll be able to visualize the heat transfer
                  into the soil.  We use it on all of our basement
                  projects.  There are several tricks we can share to
                  help with the simulation speed issue too.</div>
