RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Question about shading buildings

[Thodwris Xaritidis <maki_to_fai@xxxxxxxxx>]

So you think that it is ok?
Because I am checking the zone temperatures, in the other buildings (when I rotated the whole construction 120*) and the differences are too small, 1-2-3 degrees of C...

It should be fine already.  Normal heat transfer surfaces also act as shading surfaces.  One difference (that can be an issue for non-enclosed zone geometries) is that they really only shade in the direction from their outer face toward the inside.  Shading surfaces are automatically mirrored to shade in both directions.

Hello,

I have a question to ask. I have modelled in open studio 3 buildings,
but I want one of them to shade the rest, to stop solar radiation from reaching the
other two. Do I still have to add in energy plus(because they are already modelled), shading:building??Or is it already assumed as
a shading external building????

thank you
