Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Properties for Overhangs.

[Rob Hitchcock <RJHitchcock@xxxxxxx>]

Shading surfaces such as overhangs are not considered in the thermal 
makeup of a building in EnergyPlus.  See "Shading Surfaces" in the I/O 
Reference manual.  Such surfaces do shade and reflect solar and visible 
light though, so you need properties such as transmittance and reflectance.
