[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Internal Partitions do not participate in blocking solar radiation?

["Jean marais" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

How about splitting the zone into 2 zones seperated with an IRTransparent wall. I believe the energy transfered by the IRTransparent wall is treated the same as diffuse radiation...or?

Remember to set the convection coeff. to very small so that it does not participate in convection to the zone.
