Fw: [EnergyPlus_Support] exterior window



I thought I could model the situation you can see in the pdf file only as a window.But if I do that how can I model the "shading device"??And what should I do about the question mark zone??If I model only with windows that wall can be model too??

Also, if you are modeling each floor as a separate zone, then you
will need break the wall into a separate base surface and subsurface
for each floor.
