[EnergyPlus_Support] Slat angle control



Dear all,

I am simulating a window with vertical window blind with slag angle 
control. The slat angle will be varied with the preset schedule. But 
I found the results showing the window blind are always close. The 
input data are shown on the followings. Anyone can give me any 
advice on this problem.

Regards,

lee
