[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Window with/without surface shading attached

["marcelokalata" <marcelokalata@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob!!
   The shading surface is located just above de window, and it has a 
area of 24 m2. 
What I wanted to do is to simulate the zone with and without shading 
devise to find out if it is worth shading the window.
   But the results just didn't match with mine expectative.  
    I used a Surface Shading Attached, as far as I kwon you don't 
have to specify the reflectance of the shading surface in this 
field. 
    

Thank you for the help

Marcelo
