The new Beta version of Window 6 (by LBNL) allows you to build a window
with interior blinds.  It will calculate the adjusted SC and you can
also import that file into EnergyPlus to run an annual simulation.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] effect of window blinds on solar heat gain

 

Hi,

Does anyone have any source that documents the effect of (interior)
window blinds on solar heat gain?

We are working on a project with motorized blinds that would respond to
a photocell.  The blinds are a fabric mesh that allows 40% visible
transmittance.

 

Has anyone used a reliable factor to account for any reduction in solar
heat gain from this type of window blind?

 

Thanks for any info that you may have!

 

Sincerely,

Alec Stevens, PE, LEED AP
