[TRNSYS-users] skylight fixed shading



Hi All,
 
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.
 
Thanks,
Cramer
