[BLDG-SIM] Building additions and shading

  You could also construct the shape of the existing building with "fixed  shades". This would simulate the shading accurately without having to  construct the whole existing building. The  walls in contact with the existing building should be designated  ADIABATIC as suggested in previous emails.

    I have interpreted the existing buildings to be perpendicular to  the addition.  If this is the case and the buildings at the ends of the  addition are large, they could produce significant shading on the addition  (especially if the exposed surfaces of the addition face north and south).   The problem is: how do you quantify this?  More than likely, you will have  to create a schedule to represent it if you don’t model the whole  building.

    Kevin:
     
    I am getting a bit old and slow, so I don't quite understand your  questions.
     
    If you are modeling a new construction rectangle that has both  ends (say top and bottom on a plan view) abutting existing structures, I  believe you can make these walls INTERIOR and ADIABATIC. In that way, you have  no outside influence on the wall, and no heat transfer to another space.
     
    You WILL, however, need to make the changes in the .INP text file.  You simply cannot do it in the eQuest overlay.
     
    Why do you care about shading from external sources. Just don't put  those sources In !!
     
    Or have I missed something?

    Greetings, I am simulating a building that from bird’s eye  view looks like a big rectangle.  Either end of the new construction is  connected to existing buildings.  Furthermore, it appears the first floor  of the new construction extends into a renovation of one of the pre-existing  forms.  How does one turn off shading on exterior surfaces?  Also,  would it be better to modeling the existing buildings as well?  The new  construction will be running on its own systems.
     
    Thanks.
     
    Kevin
