[Equest-users] Increase in light consumption with shading

[Bishop, Bill]

Hi Akshat,
If you are simulating daylighting controls, then yes it would be reasonable to get an increase in lighting energy if you add building shading.
Regards,

Subject: [Equest-users] Increase in light consumption with shading

Hi,

I am simulating my model in DD wizard.
I have put vertical building shading in east -west direction.

Although I am getting slight decrease in cooling consumotion, but it is resulting in significiant increase in area lights consumption.

Is this due to daylights being switched on?
