Kiva Foundation: ground temperature output variables
Hello,
I am investigating some abnormal behaviour in an EnergyPlus model that uses Kiva:Foundation preprocessor to calculate the heat exchange between the ground and an insulated basement.
To gain some insight on what's causing this behaviour, I am trying to get the an indication of the ground temperature that is calculated by Kiva. However, I am having trouble finding output variables in the .rdd file that I can use to get this information.
My questions are:
1) Can someone confirm that the deep, shallow, and building surface ground temperature output variables are unrelated to the heat exchange calculations done by Kiva?
2) Is it possible to get the ground temperature profile, the average ground temperature (calculated by Kiva), or the heat transfer b/w the basement wall surface and foundation? (I know from another question posted that the outside surface temperature of the basement surfaces are currently unavailable with E+/Kiva).
Thank you very much! David Sun
