[TRNSYS-users] fixed shading

Christophe,
   The most complete way to treat shaded windows in Type56 is to define a 
new orientation for each of the windows and each of the walls that you want 
to treat differently. For example, if you have a south facing wall and two 
windows in that wall that are shaded by different awnings then you should 
define three ORIENTATIONS in TRNBuild. When it comes time to define the 
windows themselves, you add them under the "Additional Windows" category at 
the zone level instead of adding them to the wall in which they are 
contained. You should keep in mind that you need to enter the net wall area 
(wall area minus window area) for the south wall because TRNBuild no longer 
knows that there are windows associated with that wall. When you generate 
the Type56 files, you will be asked for three different total radiations, 
three different beam radiations, and three different incidence angles. You 
then hook up the outputs of your weather reader / radiation processor and 
Type34 to the appropriate Type56 inputs.
Kind regards,
   David
