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

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

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.
