Modelling Daylight Shelves

Will DesignBuilder add the capability to model lightshelves?

Energy Plus appears to be able to model light shelves based on a report prepared by the US DOE "Contrasting the Capabilities of Building Energy Simulation Programs, July 2005".

The DesignBuilder documentation makes no mention of this, so I assume that this feature has not been implemented. Is this correct.

Thanks in advance.

That's right light shelves have not yet been implemented in DesignBuilder. We should be able to implement this quite soon though as version 2 will have assemblies of component blocks which can be placed inside zones.
