Surface Construction Index

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could please help on the Surface Construction Index output variable. More specifically, I need to identify the equivalent surfaces that I'm getting under Surface Construction Index file per timestep in the csv - where my construction is subject to change using an EMS Program.

I already added the Output:Diagnostics to the idf. However, I'm not sure how to interpret the surface construction names (in the csv file), such as 35, 37,.... I tried to match those surfaces in the .eio file, but I was not able to do so.

Please find the eio file attached.

Thanks!

@shorowit absoultely, and thank you so much for your time in advance. I just added the IDF to the same shared Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

It appears that you need to add Output:Constructions,Constructions; to your IDF file. Then your EIO file will include additional output like so:
