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





Windows cannot use other side coefficients.

However, they will inherit the "nosun" property from their base surface.

What Edwin is suggesting is not a good idea.

Off the top of my head, and a brief look at the IDD, the windows don't have an obvious keyword to turn off incident radiation.  There is an 'other side coefficients' field which you could utilize.  However, I think the easiest way, since you aren't considering radiation anyway, is to just make a regular building surface using the same window material properties.  For example, instead of entering your window glass as a window material, just give the same properties for a Material:Regular.  I'm not 100% sure how the window gas will translate, but if you can come up with some equivalent properties, this would be the easiest way I could think of to model a window without radiation.
