Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Convex Roof - Jigsaw Roof
Dear Group,
Problem is a Jigsaw shaped roof is convex. This roof is almost fully glazed. Is it plausible to keep the windows with current tilt and azumith geometry (non-planar to base surface, ignoring warnings), but change the roof to flat? This will decrease the heattransfer surface...bad right. The roof has 22 "teeth". Seperate zone for each tooth?...I have 4 of these jigsaw roof zones...that would mean 4x22 zones to get convex zones. auch! "jig" is a 2 m + 4 m (6m base) triangle with 2m height. See below. Any ideas?
