Summary
This report documents a set of idealized in-depth diagnostic test cases for use in validating ground-coupled floor slab heat transfer models. These test cases represent an extension to IEA BESTEST, which originally focused on testing and validation of building thermal fabric models, but addressed only cursorily the modeling of heat transfer between the building and the ground.
