[esp-r] Re: control shading devices

[Achim Geissler]

Hi Arianna,

yes, I would greatly recommend upgrading to the latest development_branch version (all the new CFC features are from "a few weeks ago"). Roller blinds and screens have been added to CFCs. Also, you can now use CFCs without GSLedit. Layers are now (also) available via an ESP-r native database.

In regard to awnings, I am not sure about an approach. Hopefully you get some response from others (I seem to recall that somebody in Canada was doing something along those lines some years ago).

Best
Achim

I am using a December 2011 version of the source code, do I need to download the most recent version in order to use the additions you were describing? Finally, I would like to model the shading effect of awnings and the opening and closing, what the best way to go along with it do you and anyone else in the ESP-r community think would be?

I would recommend using development_branch version, as there have recently been great additions to the CFC functionality. For the background and details look for Bart Lomanowskis thesis (which is available online, I think).

I would also like to know if there are ways to model venetian blinds and eventually existing models that use them. Thank you very much in advance!
