[Equest-users] Increase in light consumption with shading

[Akshat Kabra]

Hi,

I have now switched off the daylight.
Now with vertical building shades on storey height curtain wall on west
side and side fins in east side windows, I am getting very negligible
decrease in cooling.

Any idea what could be the reason?

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.

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?
