[EnergyPlus_Support] shading devices

["neslihanturkmenoglu" <neslihanturkmenoglu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am a very new user(I haven't used anything yet).Before, I sent a 
message but I didn't get any answer. I hope someone hears me now:)

I want to simulate  cross ventilated zone having different types of 
shading devices(19 types derived from 2 main- perpendicular to the 
wall-parallel to the wall-alternatives) on exterior wall.I want to 
see the effects of these devices to the cooling loads.

1-I have modelled all these devices in CAD. So when I import my 
drawings , will the program be able to recognise the information 
about all these?

2-When the window is open, how will I define a shading device?
In the examples, there were glazed surfaces.

3-As my window is open,ý want to consider the shaded and unshaded 
areas caused by shading devices, emerge on floor. I have already 
done this with other program. Will I import these informations to 
energyplus or will I do all these through energyplus ?

4-Can Energyplus calculate the surface temperatures?

5-Can you advice me the easiest way to start?

thank you very much.
