[TRNSYS-users] how to model a pergola ?

[David Bradley [SEL]]

Dear Christophe,
  I am not aware of a specific pergola model. I suppose that you could 
effectively model one by using a series of Type34 shading device models, 
each with an overhang and gap appropriate to one of the bars that run 
parallel to the window. You could then use an equation to sum the 
effects of the Type34s before passing the shaded ratiation to Type56.
Kind regards,
  David
