Re: [TRNSYS-users] regarding motorized shading modeling

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Sachin,

  One way to handle this would be to activate an external shading factor on the affected windows in TRNBuild. You can set the factor to be an input to Type56 and then use an equation or write a component to determine the fraction of solar blocked by your motorized shading device and its controls. It might be good to start by running the building once with no external shading device (just building self-shading) and then to run it once with some idealized form of your motorized shading (block all beam radiation after noon or something) to see the magnitude of the impact that shading the windows will have before you spend a lot of time developing an equation or a component to model the actual shading device.

kind regards,

 David

Dear All,

             I hope you are safe and doing great. I am a student and for my research I need to model a set of motorized shading slats in the building model for optimization. Is there any guide or manual for modelling such thing in shading zone? 

Please provide instructions in steps. 

Thank You.
