<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I’ve used the interior shade functions before, but my understanding is that this is more for curtains and more uniformly diffuse/opaque
shades. Do you know if it is possible to model the changes in visible light using the shade functions? I wanted to use the blinds controls so I could get a better handle on the synergy between the blinds and the daylight dimming light controls. The shade schedule
seems to be used only for describing changes in solar gain.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> I guess Im kind of answering my own question here, but I did come across a definition that can be used to schedule the VLT
(below). I guess to do this, I need to get a better handle on the relationship of VLT to slat angle. Have you dealt with this before?</span></font></p>
<h5><b><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">VIS-TRANS-SCH</span></font></b></h5>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Takes the U-name of a schedule (of TYPE=MULTIPLIER) that gives the daylight transmittance of the window shading device when it covers the window; required for daylighting
calculation if SHADING-SCHEDULE is specified. (If WIN-SHADE-TYPE = MOVABLE-INTERIOR or MOVABLE-EXTERIOR, the program will use a transmittance multiplier value of 1.0 when the shade is retracted.) Typical visible transmittance values for translucent drapes
and shades are given in <a>Table 42</a>. A transmittance schedule is used, rather than a single fixed value, to allow seasonal change in the transmittance of the shading device. This schedule is used only for windows in a space with DAYLIGHTING = YES.
For these windows, be sure to specify not only VIS-TRANS-SCH, but also SHADING-SCHEDULE (and CONDUCT-SCHEDULE if the change in window conductance with the shade in place is significant). In the daylighting calculation, shading surfaces are modeled as perfect
diffusers with a daylight transmittance that is independent of angle of incidence.
<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">For this reason, slat-type devices, such as Venetian blinds, whose transmittance is a strong function of the angle at which light enters the device, should be modeled as a blind layer (see WINDOW-LAYERS keyword, above, and
WINDOW-LAYER command).</span></b></span></font></p>

You have some other variables such as fin sizes. Is the Win-Shade-Type defined in your BDL file? Notice that the Shading-Schedule is right after the Glass-Type.<br>

</span></font><br>
Hi Shuichi,<br>
<br>
I have not actively used this area of eQUEST, but I can pretty much guarantee that there will not be a schedule ever in eQUEST that is just called "SCHEDULE". The reason for that is that there are just too many schedules in eQUEST for any one of them to claim
the glorified name of "SCHEDULE". That coupled with the fact that schedules are also, of necessity, split into DAY-SCHEDULE, WEEK-SCHEDULE, AND ANNUAL-SCHEDULE, you can see that when you find yourself typing simply "SCHEDULE" after your command an alarm should
go off in your head that says something like "Oh, oh, I'm putting some nonsense into eQUEST that may cause the program to go off in some sort of GI/GO loop, I guess I'd better research the topic a bit more."<br>
<br>
You sound like a user of some experience so I will just encourage you to dig a little deeper, keeping in mind the schedule structure in eQUEST and the use of the Building Description Language.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Carol</p>
