RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Window heat gain- shading coefficient calculation
Hi Pallavi.
I find the dummy box methodology good. Basically have a room with the window and measure the incident vs the penetrated solar radiation with and without the solar shade.
I think this is what you were trying to do too?

Thanks Ned,
but I'm not sure if Window takes into account shading from the shading fin.
Thanks,
Pallavi

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Window heat gain- shading coefficient calculation
All,
I need to calculate shading coefficient of a window glass with and
without the effect of a shading fin. I could not find any software
that does this for me so this is how I�m trying to calculate it:
C Calculate window heat gain for both cases from Eplus and then perform
a manual calculation to get shading coefficient of the window. Since
the shading coefficient is the ratio of solar heat gain admitted
through the glass as compared to the solar heat gain admitted through
1/8" clear glass (1/8" clear glass = 1.0 Shading Coefficient) under
similar conditionsâ�¦ so If I simulate the base casee as 1/8â� clear
glass� and then calculatlate the ratio.. I should get my result� (?)
Did anyone of you face this kind of a scenario before? Can you please
shed some light on this?
Would you know of any tools that does this kind of simulation?
Any input is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Pallavi
