I am currently developing a parametric model for a shading and radiation study. I have been able to parameterize the zones with different orientations but I was surprise of not seeing any solar heat gains in the core zone. The interior walls are mean to imitate holes through a interior window with maximum transparency to radiation. Am I missing something? Is it possible to obtain results for Solar Gains Interior Windows like in Design Builder? is it possible to make holes in the interior walls?
i think the problem might be that your u-value for the interior windows is zero - which just means that you are not considering any kind of heat transfer at all. you can apply a really high u-value to it to get the heat gains.
Hi @hmurya,
I tried that also. But as far as I know, the U-value should not affect the transmitted solar radiation.
Do you know if it is possible to obtain the solar gains interior windows?
