I am using one of the PNNL's prototype models for simulations. The IDF file I am using was developed based on Phoenix's TMY3 epw, stat, and ddy files, and therefore Site:WaterMainsTemperature, Site:Location, and SizingPeriod:DesignDay are all for Phoenix. If I want to use this IDF for another location in the same climate zone with the corresponding epw file, will these fields be overridden by energyplus (I know Site:Location will be overridden by epw)?
Upon checking the epw file I have, there are several headers including Design Conditions, Typical/Extreme Periods, and Ground Temperature. Will these headers be used in energyplus (e.g. for autosizing)?
For your reference: I will only use epw file for an annual run, and no ddy file will be used.
