Hi all,
I am concerned over the different outputs associated with
defining internal blinds in E+ (i.e. defining the blinds as constructions with
shading or as standalone devices in the WindowProperty:ShadingControl
object).
I want to upload the two files but there is insufficient
space (any ideas?). They are exactly the same except for how the blinds are
defined (construction layer or standalone).
I have 9 zones of key interest to me in this building as
these are the zones that use advanced lighting controls and blind control (south
facing in a desert environment). I employed â??Zone/Sys Sensible Cooling Energyâ??
to check if they are identical. However, the output suggests this is not always
the case. In my simulation runs, the values for one of these zones (C_S_W:Zone/Sys
Sensible Cooling Energy [J](Hourly)) differs by 1.5%. This may seem small
however should the output not be exactly the same?
I would appreciate your input.
Many thanks
