The SurfaceConvectionAlgorithm:Inside:UserCurve object can switch between a few different definitions for reference temperature but I don't think there is a way to override the value.

The other way would be to control the surface heat transfer coefficient. If you have a method for predicting the reference temperature along with the accompanying Hc, you should be able to back out a result for a new Hc that has the same convective power when evaluated using the reference temperature as formulated in the model. You can schedule convection coefficients using the SurfaceProperty:ConvectionCoefficients object, or set them dynamically using EMS actuators.
