<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN">The bidirectional facility in ESP-r that you are referring to was built several years before LBNL Window was able to output BSDF datasets and the data model is different, so unfortunately
you will not be able to use the convenient BSDF outputs from the LBNL Window program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN">The attachment that Achim sent contains the input requirements for ESP-r’s bidirectional facility. This was prescribed by Fraunhofer-ISE at that time and those inputs need some instrumentation
to be generated. This paper describes how to generate the required inputs:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am in the process of using the complex fenestration feature in ESP-r.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am wondering if it is possible to use BSDF data (xml format) generated form LBNL Window software in ESP-r? The data needed for solar heat gain calculation through the complex fenestration into the thermal zone as in
TRNSYS and E+.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I found a research paper that presents a method for modelling solar gains through complex fenestration, reference below, the paper stated the method is implemented in ESP-r. Is it included in the latest release of ESP-r?
Does the model “cellular_CFC” consider that method? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
