[Equest-users] balcony

[Shinn, Kim]

Unless the balcony is an extension of the floor slab - at which point it becomes a heat transfer fin.  Not too bad if you are in Florida.  A wreck if you are in Duluth.

And no, I haven't the vaguest idea of how that is modeled.

Agreed - exterior balconies are nothing more complicated than shades.

Repeating balconies as seen commonly with multistory apartment buildings & hotels should be defined as typical window overhangs in the wizards of the appropriate dimensions.  If it's more of an isolated case you might save time creating a single building shade in detailed edit instead.

Do you mean an outdoor balcony? I would add a shading device over a window on the floor below.
