Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] fullexteriorand interior

[Rob Hitchcock <RJHitchcock@xxxxxxx>]

"Opaque Surface Inside Face Beam Solar Absorbed" should be non-zero on 
both floors and walls when you have set Solar Distribution to 
FullInteriorAndExterior.  Make sure you are looking at hours of the day 
during which beam solar through exterior windows can directly reach 
interior surfaces other than the floor.  As of Version 2.1 you can also 
use "Initial Transmitted Diffuse Solar Absorbed on Inside of Surface" to 
track diffuse solar transmitted through windows that is initially 
absorbed by interior surfaces.  The term "initial" is used here since 
additional diffuse radiation (e.g., from lights and from 
interreflections) may ultimately be absorbed by interior surfaces.  It 
is not currently possible to separately track window transmitted diffuse 
and beam solar ultimately absorbed by all surfaces since reflections and 
other sources (e.g., lights) contribute to the total absorbed radiation.
