Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Translucent Floors?





You could also use Tubular Daylighting devices for this.

The recipient zone will need to have daylighting activated.

But yes, some floors can have windows -- you will need to make these interzone surfaces for light to pass through though.

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 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)?
