Specifies how the shading device is controlled, i.e., it determines whether the shading device
is â??onâ?? or â??off.â?? For blinds, screens and shades, when the device is â??onâ?? it is assumed to cover
all of the window except its frame; when the device is â??offâ?? it is assumed to cover none of the window

Hi
Am I correct in understanding that WindowMaterial:Shade can only model a roller blind as either being fully deployed or fully open ie:
0.0: Shading device is off (applies to shades and blinds).
1.0: Interior shade is on.
I want to consider a roller blind that can be opened 0%, 10%, 20%.....100%
such that i can test the impact on air flow through an opened window and roller blind
if a roller blind is fully deployed then i can reduce some solar gains, however it will impact on air flows and so i want to model adjusting roller blind position with window opening
Does the AFN consider this?
the only workaround i can think of at the moment is to create a window from ten combined windows each with their own shading device which i control independently to model the various scenarios?
has anyone else attempted something similar?
kind regards
louis
