[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Fins that are mirrors...

Thanks to all! I will try to put on the "WithReflections" Building specification. Also I'll read carefully another time the part of the manual that explain the ShadingProperty:Reflectance. 

I'll tell you if it works!

I think that if I simulate this building like another which has normal fins, EnergyPlus will not consider the direct radiation that is specularly reflected on the fins to the interior of the building.

I found an object called SurfaceProperty:Reflectance, but I made a basic case and I don't understand the behaviour of this. Anybody knows if this object is the appropiate to simulate this fins?
