[Bldg-sim] Energy Modeling for Complex Facade

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi Simon,

could you give some more information on the nature of that "complex 
spiral 3d shading system"? It would probably be intersting whether this 
is a light redirecting system, a solid structure or more like sheet, can 
be controlled or is static...

Cheers, Lars.
