[Equest-users] building shades

[John Aulbach]

Hi Christian:
 
I am somewhat confused to what you mean "unresponsive." And when you say "building shade", I assume you do not simply mean an eyebrow over the window.
 
I have personally not played much with shading, unless there is a 60 story building across the street. If that building were, say, in a Southerly direction, I would expect to see a reduction in peak cooling load. But there are so many other mitigating factors (internal load, transmission load, type of HVAC system (escpecially with reheat), and building operation) that I am not sure what movement in energy you are expecting.
 
Can you share your file and intent with us? I may have an opening to at least see what you may be experiencing. I seriouslu doubt the weather file is at fault (unless for a very obscure location).

My model is basically unresponsive to the addition of building shades. Could this be an indication that I do not have a good weather file with incident solar data?
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
