[EnergyPlus_Support] exterior convective cavity

["Ian Doebber" <ian.doebber@xxxxxxxx>]

I ran an example room with an external baffle outside a wall with a
window.  I have 2 questions:

1.	Considering the baffle is opaque, how come the window still
transmitted a significant amount of solar energy as if there where no
obstruction in front of it?

2.	The inputs of the baffle do not seem to include how to specify
how far the baffle is from the wall.  Since my baffle is vertical, the
"Effective Thickness of Cavity Behind Exterior Baffle" field is not
used.  How can I specify the distance between my baffle and wall?

Thanks
