Hi,
In EnergyPlus, I want to have an extra IR radiation to one of my outside surface. I tried SurfaceProperty:SurroundingSurfaces, and changed the View Factor and Temperature Schedule, but the Output:Surface Outside Face Net Thermal Radiation Heat Gain Rate per Area does not change at all.
Here is my settings:
Name: W (one Outdoor surface defined in BuildingSurface:Detailed)
Sky View Factor:
Sky Temperature Schedule Name:
Ground View Factor:
Ground Temperature Schedule Name:
Surrounding Surface 1 Name: hot_surface (new name defined here)
Surrounding Surface 1 View Factor: 0.95
Surrounding Surface 1 Schedule Name: hot_surface_SCH (a const temperature schedule)
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
