[TRNSYS-users] external shading factor (multizone building)

Joke,


I think you should only consider the g-value of the shading device when
calculating external shading factor. The g-value

of the window is handled separately. So if the g-value of your shading
device is 0.23, the external shading

factor becomes 1 - 0.23 = 0.77.


Someone please correct me if I am wrong.


Kind regards,

Knut Erik Enerstvedt

(external shading device + window).
