When creating EPW files with historical files, are the soil properties in the ground temperatures row of the EPW file used by EnergyPlus? I've noticed that TMY3 files don't always include the density, conductivity or specific heat of the soil - that indicates to me that these properties are not used in simulations, is that correct?
Additionally, the reference on ground temperatures here, indicates that EnergyPlus can calculate the ground temperatures from a full-year weather file anyways - so is the ground temperatures row useful/used at all?
