The OSU ground-coupled slab model will be released with EnergyPlus V8.2 in a couple weeks. This model allows users to model the ground coupled heat transfer directly by setting up a ground domain and setting the ground-coupled surface's other side conditions to interact with the ground domain. The preprocessor is no longer needed with all code being incorporated into E+ and the zone and ground simulations occurring simultaneously.
A similar basement model will be released with the next full E+ release, but it will also be available much sooner in an incremental release once we have it finished up.
