I had a thought of what you are suggesting but its not balancing the things out in my case, which could be because of prediction accuracy or could be any other reason. Let see if I can work around the way. Thanks for the response.

Hi, Neal , Yes, I mean the top equation of this page and particularly about the convection term in the equation. I want to change the Reference temperature in the convection load calculation to a user defined value. Can I do it by defining externalInterface schedule object.

Hi,

I am looking to pass a user defined value of "Reference Temperature" for the calculation of the convection load in the zonal energy balance equation given on page-25(bottom)of the manual. https://energyplus.net/sites/all/modu...

I am aware of creating the ExternalInterface:Schedule object in the idf but how can I use this object in idf file to specify the new user input reference temperature?
Am I approaching correctly to what I want to achieve or is there any other way.I hope I am clear with my question.Any advice from the community will be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Regards
