[esp-r] Re: Solar multiple tramsmission

[Achim Geissler]

Hi Tang

in general, yes and no. The "normal" obstructions you can use for shading in
ESP-r are opaque. However, if I understand your intentions correctly, you
could model what you describe with a kind of "double façade" approach. If
you including a flow network, you can then also simulate the natural / stack
ventilation. If you then improve resolution on the solar radiation
distribution ("calculate insolation" zone by zone into the deeper zones),
the "following" of the solar radiation should be detailed enough. I don’t
know if this approach has made its way into the CookBook, yet. However, some
time back there was a posting on this list in regard to how to set it up
(don’t have the link, though - maybe somebody else).

Regards
Achim

Subject: [esp-r] Solar multiple tramsmission

Community,

Can anyone tell if esp-r be able handle multiple solar transimssion?

We intend to model a site with buildings covered by semi open glass shade.
The shade is made of double pane low-e glasses shaped a huge pyramid
slant-cut from diagonal with openings at bottom and top to encourage natural
ventilation. It is essential to model direct and diffuse solar transmission
through the glass shade into the rooms of the buildings.
