<DIV>The louvers are there to shade the wall and reflect the sun for the south
exposure, no? If so, you can model a bunch of individual shades that match

<DIV><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" color=#000000 size=2
face=Arial> I
need to know the best way to model aluminum louvers that is placed on an
exterior brick wall on a southern elevation. Should I create exterior walls that
resembles the louvers for each zone,, or assume a very low U-value for this
wall, or there is an appropriate way that the software allow for this
case?</FONT><BR>Any help would be highly appreciable,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
