Hi, I'm trying to obtain info for a cooling load calculation of a below ground (above ground, really just bermed) building. The walls (dirt) are at 45 degrees, several feet on the roof. I'm going to adapt using the radiant time series RTS method just plugging in appropriate sol-air temp, radiant and conductive time factors, U values, wall surface temp (soil temp), etc.

My question is, does anyone know where I can get a hold of these appropriate values?
