Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] window blind

["Frederick C. Winkelmann" <FCWinkelmann@xxxxxxx>]

Lourenco,

For now I suggest scaling things by a factor of 0.2 so that:

slat width = 0.2m
blind-to-glass distance = some value less than 0.3 m
slat separation = 0.2 times actual slat separation
slat thickness = 0.2 times actual slat thickness

As long as things are scaled this way the EnergyPlus blind solar-thermal calculation will be the same as that for the
full-size case.

Eventually I will change the maximum value of the blind to glass distance to 0.6m.

There is an EnergyPlus sample run called PurchAirWindowBlind.idf  that models interior blinds. It is attached.
