[EnergyPlus_Support] Translucent Floors?

["Jean marais" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm debating the best way to model a 4m thick roof structure consisting of upper layer metal sheet (inter-spaced with skylights), layer 2 is insulation, layer 3 is cavity void air 3m, inner layer is a PTFE coated fiberglass construction meant to act as a diffuser to create a illuminated ceiling (i.e. translucent).

I'm thinking of treating it a separate zone where the roof is the sheet metal+insulation and the floor is the fiberglass.

I'm thinking that the floor construction base surface will be opaque...can one add a Window sub-surface to a floor (which will be the roof of the next level)?
