First question

My first floor building has its surface adjacent to the ground. I want to calculate the Ground temperature at building surface. e+ declared in the documentation that a temperature 2 degree less than the zone temperature works for American buildings. Is there a way to make some estimation of such adjacent temperature of the surface?

By default I have the following settings Site:GroundTemperature:BuildingSurface, 20.03, 20.03, 20.13, 20.30, 20.43, 20.52, 20.62, 20.77, 20.78, 20.55, 20.44, 20.20

Second question

I simulated my model and I got in the EIO file with the following output: FCfactorMethod, Shallow and Deep. SUch temperatures (FCfactorMethod, Shallow and Deep) remain always the same althought I changed the Site:GroundTemperature:BuildingSurface. Why?

Best regards.
