[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Movable insulation

["alexandrevarela2000" <amv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mike,

Thank you very much for your reply. The thing is I wanto to model 
something like a wooden panel over the window (I don´t know the 
english word for this). The main function is not really shading, but 
isolating by being closed at night.

I´m not so sure about how to set wood properties as a "shade". I've 
set the properties like this:

Solar transmittance - 0
Solar reflectance - 0.2
Visible transmittance - 0
Visible reflectance - 0.2
Thermal hemispherical emissivity -0.9
Thermal transmittance - 0

Do you think this way it will work?

Thank you very much for your help, best regards,
Alexandre
