Setting Ground Temperature in OS

Hi all,

I'm modelling a simple house with few thermal zones with OS 2.7.0, but in order to correctly simulate its thermal behavior the correct ground temperature must be informed, otherwise EnergyPlus will assume its default monthly temperature (18C) which isn't correct.

It's very much like this question: https://unmethours.com/question/11228/openstudio-measure-for-user-defined-ground-temperatures/

Through an answer In this thread I've noticed that OS already has Site:GroundTemperature:BuildingSurface Model Object but I can't find it anywhere.

Could someone explain how to get it into my model?

Thanks
