Re: [TRNSYS-users] about shadowing calculation

["Diego A. Arias" <daarias@wisc.edu>]

Dear Cristina,

My idea would be to use Type68 (shading by external object).  You can 
define a shading mask for each of the surfaces that you are interested 
in, taking into account shading by the other parts of the building.  In 
the examples directory you can find a project that uses Type68 to 
calculate shading on solar collectors  (\Examples\Shading).

I will appreciate comments or suggestions from users who have encounter 
such problem.
Best regards,

Diego
