Example:
The 3 large horse chestnut trees (Aesculus hippocastanum) onsite are also modelled having 17,5% transmission during summer and 73% transmission in winter. Transmissions are based on the table â??Solar Modifying Characteristics of Various Species of Treesâ?? in â??Landscape architectural graphic standardsâ?? By Leonard J. Hopper, 2007. The trees together with component blocks representing neighbouring buildings are modelled for the daylighting simulation.
You can set a transparency schedule for a shading surface.

He took photos of deciduous tress at different times of the year, then digitized the image to determine the amount of transparency and its impact on the indoor environment. This was, in my mind, very innovative in the days when digital images were not the norm.Vorschau für Anhang "Practical Method to Model Trees for Daylighting Simulation.pdf" ansehenPractical Method to Model Trees for Daylighting Simulation.pdf385 KBOn Sat, Jun 30, 2018 at 8:43 PM, Koji Takemasa koji_takemasa@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support] <EnergyPlus_Support@yahoogroups.com > wrote:ÂHi.
I use EnergyPlus to calculate the room temperature when there are
deciduous trees and when there is not.
The strange thing is that those with deciduous trees show higher values
when comparing the room temperature of January when there are deciduous
trees and no deciduous trees.
In this setting, the winter (including January of course) leaves are
falling, so room temperature should be roughly equal.
I do not know the reason.
Since I am not sure whether my setting is correct, I also attached an
idf file.
The attached graph shows annual room temperature fluctuation. The X axis
shows the month and the Y axis shows the time. I think that you can see
the difference when comparing them.
