Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] External louvers shutter

I think you can change transmittance via the transmittance schedule. From memory there exists an extra object to assign the transmittance to the surface.

Hello everybody, 

I should need to model external louvers shutter as façade placed at 40 cm from the building. This means that it is should be an independent structure disconnected from the rest of the building. The purpose is to reduce the solar radiation therefore internal loads due to the sun. 

I am also wondering about the possibility to make them orientable and adjustable in relation to the solar radiation variation during the day. 

I am modeling the shutters using â??Shading:Building:Detailedâ??; is this object the best for this case?  How can I give them the possibility to be the orientable? 

Thanks in advance

Mirko
