Default Emissivity for boundary condition

I am modeling the heat flow in a concrete floor heated with imbedded hot water pipes. For the top surface boundary condition I am using the mixed thermal conditions, where I can input the external emissivity and temperature for the radiative heat transfer. I can't find any place (such as "define materials") to input the emissivity of the concrete surface though. Even if I select radiation under "define models" I can't find any place to provide the surface emissivity. How does FLUENT calculate this? Does it assume an emissivity of the boundary of 1? Thanks for any information you can provide.
