[esp-r] Re: Obstructions for multiple zones

[Jon Hand]

Solar obstructions are associated with a specific zone.  Other zones will not know
about obstructions unless you include the obstruction description into the other
zones description.

If you have obstructions which impact several zones the current
work-around is to open up the zone geometry files (or zone obstruction files in older versions)
in a TEXT EDITOR (not a word processor) and copy and paste the relevant obstruction blocks.

Subject: [esp-r]  Obstructions for multiple zones

Hi

Do solar obstructions 'belong' to an individual zone or do they belong to the entire model? Do obstructions added to the geometry of one zone affect the solar gains of other zones that might lie in its shadow?

I plan to add obstructions that may effect multiple zones, do I have to add them to all the zones individually or will adding them to just one zone suffice?


Thanks,
