dear Paulo

for the second part of your question there is not self-shading in esp-r, you 
have to insert additional blocks to represent the building for each zone. I 
think you have at least 4 zones for the four sides of the courtyard, so for 
each zone add the others 3 zones as obstruction blocks.
