No, it's actually not overheated it's just it does not come down to 15 and starts heating right at 16 instead of15. Sure

2021-03-24 08:55:49 -0500 marked best answer Does thermal emissivity and solar absorptance matter for all layers?

Hi all,

I have a wall and roof section. I would like to know should I just include the thermal emissivity and solar absorptance for the innermost and outer most layers or should I define it for all of them? Furthermore, is it enough to for instance, use the solar absorptivity of white paint for a gypsum wall? Does it make sense?

@Denis Bourgeois thank you, so, when we have paint on the wall, the layer after paint does not matter as well.
