The epw format includes underground temperatures, but these are not to be used 
in buildng simulation codes as clearly stated in the file .stat that comes 
with the epw file, since these are undisturbed ground temperatures.
Esp-r can cope with the problem of basements using the BASESIMP method, how is 
implemented and how to use  it in ESP-r is explained in files 
BASESIMP_configurations.pdf,  BASESIMP_theory.pdf,  BASESIMP_vs_NN.pdf
available on esru site.
