Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Low Temp Radiant Ceiling Panels (Heating)



No, the default radiant view factors in EnergyPlus are dependent on surface 
area, emissivity, azimuth and tilt.  They are not sensitive to position.  For 
the case you describe, I would expect little or not difference.  The user may 
override the default view factors by using the UserViewFactors object.
