[EnergyPlus_Support] Modelling shading device inside a zone

[Santiago Velez <santiagogvelez@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone, I´m trying to model the following situation: An overhang shading device at ceiling level (3.7m) of  the entrance of the lobby of an office building. The lobby is part of a small glassed atrium (three stories high, curtain-wall), with two mezzanine floors above. The shading device projects both out and into the atrium, blocking a big percentage of  direct radiation into the lobby´s working area. 

The question is, how do I model this shading projecting into the zone so that the load in the lobby zone is more accurate? I divided the atrium vertically into three different zones connected by "air walls".

Thanks

Santiago.
