Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] COMIS & window transmitted solar

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

The COMIS model only calculates infiltration and mixing flow rates, it has no 
impact on the window solar calculations.  So, you are correct, that the window 
solar gain is modeled as if the windows are closed at all times.
