Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to simulate building model without the influence of Radiation

[Edwin Lee <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

On each building surface, just change it to neglect solar radiation.  The seventh field is the sun exposure, so change it from: SunExposed (or blank) to NoSun.  This should 'turn off the sun' for that surface.

Hi guys,

I'd like to conduct simulation on several control strategies, while i want to get a constant outside weather condition without the influence of sun radiation.  I check the variable parameters in *.epw file and find the following three variable parameters "Horizontal Infrared Radiation Intensity,  Direct Normal Radiation, Diffuse Horizontal Radiation" used in the calculation. Here it is: If i set these values into "0", could the load calculation omit the influence of "Radiation"?

If not, are there other methods to achieve it?

Best Regards,

Rongxin
