10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I too have been modeling an Ice Rink and
am implementing a low-e ceiling in the arena as well. I have already entered a
Ceiling Emissivity Ratio of 0.1, however, this is showing no change in my
results. I have tried to change the low-e ceiling ratio to 0.95 in hopes to see
a spike in the buildings energy use but still no change occurs in the results. I
have a sample ice rink file which also implements a low-e ceiling and the
results on that file do very when I change the Ceiling Emissivity value. I try
to compare my file to the sample ice rink file but cannot see where mine
differs. Am I missing something when entering the Ceiling Emissivity Ratio? Is
there more that needs to be taken into account to have a low-e ceiling? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
