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
