[EnergyPlus_Support] question about solar distribution

["Maria Fernandez" <mfernandez@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to model a building with a double glass ventilated façade, so I thought to use a second thin zone in the façade as plenum to introduce the air of ventilation from the air gap to the AirLoop. I use “Full interior and exterior” in the solar distribution because I supposed these model represented well my situation. But my problem is that I detected the solar radiation get into the zone is less than it should be because I have compared this situation with a simple glass façade of the same characteristics. Could anybody help me? I don’t understand what happens. Maybe, I’m thinking this solar distribution model doesn’t work with a thin zone, could be?

 

Thanks in advance,

María Fernández
