[EnergyPlus_Support] Light shelf surface temperature

["Vassilios GEROS" <vgeros@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,
I'm interesting to simulate the energy performance of a light shelf and I'm facing the following problem: the surface temperature of internal part of the shelf is very high. For example under the climatic conditions of San Francisco and when I'm using the provided example "DaylightingDeviceShelf.idf" the surface temperature of the shelf reaches 68C. This fact also influences the cooling (it is increased) and the heating (it is decreased) loads importantly due to the existence of a heat source into the space. 
Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem?


regards,

Vassilis Geros
