Enhancement Request

Support the EnergyPlus object SurfaceControl:MovableInsulation in the OS SDK

Detailed Description

The movable insulation object can be used to add insulation surface(s) on top of opaque surfaces, such as a transparent coating that affects the radiative gains to a roof surface. Below is an example EP object that would be generated from OS - the TransparentInsulationMaterial is a WindowMaterial:Glazing object defined elsewhere.

SurfaceControl:MovableInsulation,
  Outside,                          ! Insulation Type
  Surface 14,                       ! Surface Name
  TransparentInsulationMaterial,    ! Material Name
  Always On Discrete;               ! Schedule Name

Attached is a text file of an idf that uses this object to apply a transparent insulation material on the roof surfaces:
