[EnergyPlus_Support] Providing "urban" shadowing



If you want to simulate a building in an urban environment, the shadowing of the surrounding buildings is very important. Otherwise you will have solar gains from the first second the sun is up, which is not realistic, certainly not in winter.

 

You can provide component blocks for the most important buildings, but if you have no detailed information ,this is not possible.

 

Is there a method, like steady state sheets or programs sometimes do, to lower the solar gains with a certain coëfficiënt, to take into account the effect of surrounding buildings ?
