What version of EnergyPlus are you using?

As @shorowit suggests, user-defined convection coefficients in Kiva were not possible in EnergyPlus prior to version 9.1. Previous to 9.1, the convection coefficient was always set using Kiva's internal convection algorithm (consistent with EnergyPlus default algorithms for interior and exterior). In version 9.1 and later you can set the convection algorithm (or coefficient value) the same way you would any other surface.
