[Bldg-sim] Building Heat Gains

[Duggin, Cory]

The VE doesn’t model thermal bridging, so that isn’t it.  What climate is your building in?  What percentage glazing are the east and west walls?  Are you losing heat through the envelope or gaining it?  It could have to do with the shades blocking more sun from heating up the outside of the envelope on those walls, which then changes the delta T and resulting conduction gain.

Hi All,
          Thanks for the reply this analysis was done in ies ve and the external conduction gains are increasing with shading while solar gains are reducing

i am sending the snapsort of the building with shading in east and west

Regards
Sambhav

The shades are attached to the building exterior and there is no thermal break between the shades and the exterior walls. The shades act as fins conducting heat to the outside.
