I'm trying to simulate the influence of heavy drapes in a hotel
room as the window night insulation. They are scheduled at night time (as they
are in hotel rooms).
I was expecting to see some kind of influence of the drape in
the energy loads. For my surprise I can't get any influence at all. It is the
same to have or not the drape.
The drape is defined with a very low (or very high) conductivity
(wanted to see if this have any influence).
I also tried to define the drape as internal shade or internal
blind. No help either.
I'll appreciate your help on this one: how can the night
insulating effect of a drape can be defined (needless to say that is for the
window and not for the wall)?
Best,
-A.
