[Equest-users] Shading

If you are moving your shades to block all direct sunlight - could you zero out your glass shgc? The drawback is that it would block out diffuse sun at times when the shades are not deployed. Do you have daylight dimming of lights? If so you need to captur the loss of visible light as well.

Thanks, Ashu. Yes, I modeled overhangs (but not fins). I want to model movable shading, which moves according to the movement of sun specially in the east side to prevent overheating. So I was wondering if designing some schedules will be helpful and if so, how to do that. Would you suggest that overhangs and fins are all I would need (for a heating dominated region) instead of movable shading?

Hey Shalini,



Have you modeled the overhangs and fins in exterior shading? Can you elaborate that what kind of movable shading you want to model.



Thanks,

Ashu

Hello all,

Am trying to model a small commercial building in Toronto and applying as many passive techniques as I can. While designing shading, I want to apply movable exterior shading (please advice if this will be one of the best techniques or there is a better option). Can anyone share any example with appropriate shading schedules designed. I specific need guidance in designing these schedules. How do we take into consideration the assigned weather file in doing so?

Your response and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shalini
