[EnergyPlus_Support] Surface:HeatTransfer:ExteriorNaturalVentedCavity

["Ian Doebber" <ian.doebber@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm investigating a double skin façade and want essentially to calculate the overall SC and U-value that varies hourly across my design day.  I started to use the 
Surface:HeatTransfer:ExteriorNaturalVentedCavity but can this input incorporate an transparent material.  From the only material inputs of solar absorptivity and emmissivity, I'm assuming that E+ treats the baffle as an opaque surface.  Is there a way that I can model this baffle as transparent.  If not, what other modules can I use to model double skin façade that transmits light.

THanks

Ian
