In the existing model I just used shading factors from PHPP, only differencing between summer and winter. Now I want to have more detailed shading factors and want to use the shading matrix (shm) but as I read in the documentations I need convex zones for it. Or is it working with concave zones, if I just use the detailed radiation model for the beam radiation distribution (and for the diffuse radiation distribution and the longwave radiation exchange within a zone the standard models)? As far as I can see the geometry of a zone is indifferent for the shm-File – isn’t it?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>If it really does not work like that, my idea was to build up the same 3D-Modell but with only fictitious concave zones, so I could get the shading factors in the shm-file.
