[Equest-users] Ground/Water reflectance

[John Aulbach]

Alex:
 
I wonder if the turbidity (word ??) of the water will actually not make a 
difference. Any harbor will have boats, wind effects, and an occasional sea 
monster disturbing the "glass" water.
 
Only in paintings ???

Subject: [Equest-users] Ground/Water reflectance


Hello everyone,
 
I’ve got a building that is located at the edge of a harbor with the water 
directly to the south of it. How do I model a reflective surface on the ground 
that represents the harbor? I feel this is key to include, as this reflectivity 
will send additional heat through the windows. I looked through the archives but 
didn’t see anything related to ground reflectivity.
 
If anyone knows how to create reflective objects and/or an appropriate value of 
reflectivity for water in eQUEST, that would be most helpful.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Regards,
Alex Krickx
