<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear TRNSYS users, I have some questions for you:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1) I'm currently modelling in PREBID a residential building
for which the montly Shading Coefficients on the windows have been
calculated with the software ECOTECT. I insert the SC in the
appropriate field ("external shading coefficient") as an input and set the "view
factor" to 0,5 (vertical surfaces). It's the exact way? My doubt is that the
solar incident radiation is halved (view factor = 0,5) and then reduced of the
SC...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) It's possible to use old TESS libraries with TRNSYS 16 or
are they already comprised in the new version?</FONT></DIV>
