[EnergyPlus_Support] Daylighting obstructions

["Andy Tindale" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Is it possible to use EnergyPlus to model large internal obstructions to
solar and daylighting penetration within a zone using surfaces or other
objects?.

Clearly this would require the full exterior and interior solar distribution
option, but I just wondered whether the presence of any internal obstruction
surfaces would be accounted for in the calculation of daylight factors and
solar distribution about the space.  Are Daylighting:Detailed and
Daylighting:DELight the same in this respect.

Thanks,

Andy
