Hi,
I have a model that tests several passive strategies on a building to reduce the thermal energy demand. One of these is shading and I would like to include both internal blinds and external louvres. I am using the EP window shade generator but I don’t understand how it works. I have a few questions in regard:
-
It seems that I can model both internal blinds and external louvres at the same time, but if I write the EPObjs I can’t see the external fins. Why is that? Would they still be included in the simulation?
-
What do the schedules apply to? Are they applied to both the blinds and the fins or are they only related to the blinds?
-
Same question for the Internal\External input. Does it apply also to blinds or is it only related to the geometries defined by the inputs below?
-
Is there a way to test the two shading systems separately, only internal blinds and only external louvres?
Many thanks,
Antonietta
