Modelling large window

hannes · Posts: 16 Location: Gent

Hi,
I had an error in cooling design due to modelling a continous window over three floors.
I modelled the windows floor-to-ceiling but apparently this is not working, when I make the windows a bit smaller DB doesn't have any problems with it.
Is there an other way to model the window as you can see it in the file attached?

Hello Hannes,

Could you give me the error message you've got?
Because it should work.
I don't know if you draw the windows or generate them but it is also interesting to know how you done them.

Thanks,
Laurent

I draw the windows from top to floor inside the zone. Then DB has an error but the E+ error message is empty.
When the window is 5cm smaller there is no problem modelling.

You could consider trying the latest DB beta version that includes an E+ bug fix for daylighting where there are interior windows and the outer zone has no daylight control.

If this does not help could you post your dsb model so we can take a look?
