[EnergyPlus_Support] Sky cooling through radiation in urban setting (Sky View Factor) ?





Dear users, 

EP calculates the sky temperature through WeatherProperty:SkyTemperature object. However, I was wondering how EP takes into account the relationship between the building surface and the amount of visible sky, in case when surrounding buildings are present in the model (urban scenario)? Does it take Sky View Factor into consideration? or how radiative heat loss between building surfaces and the sky is calculated? Thank you! 

Regards,
Vaibhav
