[EnergyPlus_Support] simulating curved external venetian blinds

["chrizzy De La Cruz chrizzy_delacruz@xxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I am trying to simulate a vertical window with external venetian blinds. For accuracy i want to use angle-dependent properties for the window system (window + blinds).

According to the "engineering reference" energyplus is assuming:

1)flat slats

2) does not take any inter-reflections into account for the simulation.

How is it possible to overcome this and ie. simulate curved blinds or any other non-flat external shading device and potentially include interreflections?

Your thoughts on this topic are highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance kind regards,

Christiane
