Julie, Knut,

 

 

Thanks a lot for the answers.

 

So the formula a thought, is correct.

 

 

Kind regards,

I asked about this before and I'm forwarding you the answer I got and was valid when i tested the influence of my blinds on the heating/cooling energy necessary for the building.

hope this is useful.

Best regards,

Dear Julie,

I suggest you to put an equation tool outside of Type56. In that equation tool, ESHAD (
the ratio of non transparent area of the shading device to the whole glazing area, as defined in TRNBUILD) will be calculated depending on blinds position.
If you consider that
:

  • GWINDOW = solar shading factor of window only, which is constant (60% for example, which means that 60% of solar radiation goes through the window)
  • FS = solar shading factor of your system Window + Shadings.
    FS depends on blinds use,
    • if blinds are used, FS = 0.2 (for example)
    • if not, FS = GWINDOW

In that way, FS is calculated as the product between :

  • the amount of solar energy which pass through external shading device when they're used => (1-ESHAD)
    • ESHAD = 0 means no shading
    • ESHAD = 1 means zero transmission
  • and window solar shading factor (GWINDOW)
    • FS = GWINDOW.(1-ESHAD)    (1)
      Regarding (1)

      ESHAD = (1- FS/GWINDOW)   (2)

No you have a relation between ESHAD, FS and Window G-Value :

  • When blinds are up, solar radiation are only blocked by the window solar shading factor => FS = GWINDOW and ESHAD = 0.
  • When blinds are down, solar radiation are blocked by window and external shadings => FS = 0.2 (for the whole system in that example), ESHAD = (1-0.2/0.6) = 0.667 that means that 66.67% non transparent area of the shading device to the whole glazing area)
    Regarding (1) FS = 0.5*(1-0.0.667) = 0.5*0.4 = 0.2 which is the total shading factor you want.

Best

Joke,

 

I think you should only consider the g-value of the shading device when calculating external shading factor. The g-value

of the window is handled separately. So if the g-value of your shading device is 0.23, the external shading

factor becomes 1 - 0.23 = 0.77.

 

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Kind regards,

Knut Erik Enerstvedt
