[Hap-users] Modeling External Shades

[Matthew J. Baron]

Hap has the ability to model shades above windows, it appears as though you would need to come up with an equivalent dimension for shading (combine the multiple shades spaced out into one single shade). It would depend on how much of the façade is glass and how you would decide to model windows. You could for instance model each window as 50cm wide and include a single 20cm fin, then add multiples of that window in you space.

Hello,

My Building has horizontal fins, perpendicular to the facade, every 30 centimeters.

The with of the fins is 20 centimeters.

I would appreciate if someone can help me to model this shading device in HAP 5.11.

Thank  you,

Paula
