Dear E+ users,
I am using shading control introduced into the
Windowproperty:Shadingcontrol where I set the folowing parameters:
1) Shading control type:
OnIfHighSolarOnWindow
2) Setpoint: 100 W/m2
Looking at the E+ Input/Output reference I check
that, for such control type, the shading is on if
beam plus diffuse solar radiation incident on the window exceeds SetPoint
(W/m2).
After the simulations, I was trying to check if the
control was operating properly but I don´t know which variable I can use to
check that. First, I use "Zone Diff Solar from Exterior Windows" and "Zone
Beam Solar from Exterior Windows" and I compared the values of these variables
with and without the shading. I noticed, between 8 and 9 A.M. for a specific
external window, that there is a difference on the values of such variables but
when I added the values of the beam and diffuse radiation and divdided by thw
window I reached a value of 13,5 W/m2 but I was expecting something close to 100
W/m2 when the shading should start operating. Any ideas which variable I should
check in order to evaluate the proper operation of such shading?
Thanks for any help.
