style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>The albedo of an
ocean should probably equal that of a lake on an average basis throughout the
day (not a peak hourly basis). The radiation reflected by water is very
low when the incident wave is perpendicular to the surface of the water, and it
approaches 100% as the angle of incidence approaches 90 degrees (morning and
evening). As the waves move through the water the incident angle of each
zone of water will vary from 0-90 degrees on a constant basis and the
reflectance should roughly average out to equal that of a still body of
water. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>For a lake, in the
late afternoon, the reflectance will increase from 0.05 to 0.1 or 0.2.
Later in the evening it will reach closer to 0.8 or 0.9, but at this time
the radiation intensity from the sun drops off significantly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>To model the lake on
one side is a challenge, your peak loads may not change but your annual
consumption may. If eQuest uses the gnd reflectance values as a
multiplier of solar radiation, it may be worth running a few iterations with
different values of gnd reflectance to see the results.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

create a 2d shape in the ground plane south of the building, and apply the
reflectance to that, or do I need to apply it to the whole ground?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>I looked through a
previous project and didn’t see the term “GND-REFLECTANCE”
anywhere in the inp or pd2 files. Is the default to have a ground-reflectance
of 0? If so, I guess I’ll run one case with 0, and one with 0.05…
although I doubt there will be much difference between the two.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

property – GND-REFLECTANCE, accessible through the Daylighting –
Shading – Other tab of the exterior surface. Reading the DOE-2 Help
description, the reflectance value for “ocean” is 0.05, implying
that most solar radiation is absorbed, not reflected. I’m guessing that
the visual glare we perceive does not increase the solar load as much as we
would think. Sea monsters do not seem to have been considered by the DOE-2
team.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
