[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Want to make Tubular Lighting
There is an EnergyPlus example file named 'DaylightingDeviceTubular.idf' that highlights how to apply the DAYLIGHTINGDEVICE:TUBULAR object. Using the OpenStudio plug-in for SketchUp, you will need to draw the dome and diffuser surfaces as fenestration subsurfaces, then apply the correct settings for the 'Sub Surface Type' input field of each fenestration surface ("TubularDaylightDome" and "TubularDaylightDiffuser"). However, you will need to add the DaylightingDevice:Tubular object detailing the pipe connecting the two surfaces directly in the IDF, since OpenStudio doesn't include that object in the SketchUp plug-in or the OpenStudio GUI, and there are no measures on the Building Component Library to add TDDs to a model.
