Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Two shades for a window?

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

EnergyPlus cannot model two "shading" layers at the same time.  

If the exterior slats are fixed (do not move), then one approach would be to 
model the exterior slats as shading surfaces.  The transmittance could be 
scheduled if the slats are removed for part of the year.  This would be a data-
intensive approach.
