<DIV><SPAN class=937131215-24042009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got a building
that has skylight with hoods to block the direct sunlight (similar to a
northshed). Are there any types out there suitable for modeling these? I was
thinking perhaps create another orientation with only diffuse horizontal
radiation and connect that to the skylights, and also do and ecotect or
sketchup analysis of the geometry to see if the hoods do indeed block all direct
light, but I'm wondering what other people's thoughts on this
are.</FONT></SPAN>
