Dear JoeCould you mind to help me split the direct normal irradiance from the global horiozontal solar radiation?RegardsJallen2013/11/4 <jallenpeng@...>Dear all,
I have used EnergyPlus to simulate the hourly solar radiation incident on the south facing wall. However, i found the simulation results are much lower than the measured results at noon of sunday, so I think may be i should change the solar radiationo model. I know how to change the model for the designday simulation, but for the runperiod simulation, i don't know how to change the solar radiation calculation model. Thank you in advanced for your kind help.RegardsJallen
