RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] clerestory window



You just do it.  Clerestories are treated just like any other window,
only positioned differently.  E+ takes 3d geometry. It can be pretty
challenging to work out the surface geometry--maybe the interfaces can
help.  One thing to watch out for is that the underlying zones have a
tendency to become concave, but for good daylight modeling it is better
to have fully convex zones.  So you may end up laying out zones for
daylighting rather than for the thermal conditioning.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] clerestory window

 

How do you model a clerestory window? I'm modeling a small office 
building. On top of the bldg at the north end is a long narrow box-like 
structure with a window on the south face. Being new to E+, I am 
unsure of the best approach.
Thanks in advance,
David
