12 MRT SurfaceTemp

Main Components

SurfaceTemp EnergyPlus
Surface temperatures via EnergyPlus, mapped onto a solved VF Model. The counterpart of the FFT SurfaceTemp component for the staged MRT pipeline: it consumes MRT View Factors' output (the E+ surface selection depends on the view factors) and its output feeds MRT Solve. Skipping this stage leaves surfaces at ambient temperature unless they carry FFT temperatures from MRT Surface.
SurfaceTemp Material
Predefined multi-layer construction (assembly) for the SurfaceTemp admittance solve.
SurfaceTemp FFT
Solves outdoor surface temperature per analysis point via the frequency-domain admittance method (no thermal mesh, no warm-up). Feeds a future MRT component alongside Sky Exposure. Method: Beckett, O., Owens, S. and Acred, A. (2026). Applying Frequency Domain Methods for Calculating Outdoor Surface Temperatures.

Deconstruct SurfaceTemp
Point-specific statistics (and optionally the raw hours) from a SurfaceTemp Result, without putting the full 8760-hour year on the canvas.
