Weather data Horizontal Infrared Radiation Intensity

Hello to all, the Horizontal Infrared Radiation Intensity is used in the EnergyPlus simulation, right? If it is missing, it is calculated from the Opaque Sky Cover. But if I specify neither Horizontal Infrared Radiation Intensity nor Opaque Sky Cover, the simulation runs anyway. What value is assumed for Opaque Sky Cover?

PS: Regarding the additional Software-Tool Elements, is the Input "Infrared Sky Radiation" equal to "Horizontal Infrared Radiation Intensity"?

Thank you for any help! M.
