Depending on your situation, you may be able to model it as an overhang. If
not, you can create a bldg shade. There are good directions for creating
shading devices in chapter 8 of the quick ref guide. You can open the quick
ref guide from the help menu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

forgot to mention that you need to be in the detailed edit mode to do
this. In the wizard, set the flr-flr height 4’ higher than the flr-clg
height and it will automatically create your plenum for you. Once you are
finished in the wizard, move to the detailed edit mode. Then, set the
zone type to conditioned and apply a heating schedule.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
