[TRNSYS-users] Blinds

[Julie Lestrade]

Dear TRNSYS users,

I was wondering about blinds in front of windows and how to take them into account.
In my case, they external blinds. They're up at certain time and down at other (depending on radiation on the wall, time of day, ...).

Should I take account of them in Type 56 ? on the windows considered with 'external shading factor'  (that would be convenient since i can use a schedule) ? If yes, I would like to have a total solar factor for the window of 0.2 when the blind is down. Does that mean I should put a shading factor 0.8 ? or is it more complicated than that ?

Thank you for your answers

Julie
