Dear Trnsys users,<br>
<br>
I am facing a problem, and cannot decide which method should be used
to solve it.<br>
The problem, in itself is very simple: <br>
How do you take into account the solar gains for a building with
this type of solar protection :<br>
<br>

<br>
It's a textile at about 1 meter from the facade. My building is
different: the textile covers almost entirely the facade, except for
several windows reserved for firefighters access. This textile is
semi transparent.<br>
<br>
Here my questions:<br>
1/ Does this textile should be taken into account for solar gains'
walls ?<br>
2/ Is a simple solar factor sufficient? Tha fact that it's about 1 m
from the facade does not interfer?<br>
3/ How to take into account the openings in the textile in front of
several windows?<br>
<br>
I was thinking of creating a solar mask element in 3d with Tnrsys 17.
But this mask, as far as I know is opaque...<br>
This building has very low heating needs, so the way we take solar
gains is very important...<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
