<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RO" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">I have a residential building that needs to be modeled with window shading on the south side. When I input the shading 24&#8221; to each window on the south side of the
 building my heating during winter and the pumps results every month are increased and the shading doesn&#8217;t help at all. This doesn&#8217;t make any sense to me. In the winter time on the south side during summer the shading should help after theory. In the winter
 should help too because the sun will heat the windows and heat up the spaces. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RO" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Any help would be appreciated.
