Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Creating a Shadowing Transmittance Schedule for a overhang

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since you will need to set the schedule (0 is opaque, 1 is
transparent) dependent on other conditions, you will need to use the EMS
feature (see example file EMSCustomSchedule).

As to the schedule -- it's just like any other schedule.
