Hi everybody!!
I am simulating a building which has shade roll in most of the windows.
After having simulated a concret zone with and without this shade roll, I get the same result in cooling proprties, so I guess it is because I don't do it properly.
Does anybody know how I should do it to get a good result??I am sure I should get less Kw in cooling design with a shade roll system than without it.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

You could see when your shading are operating looking to the solar gains. Curves should be cut instead of rising to a maximum.

Take care of the control you set. For example Internal temperature with Cooling On don't run if the shading temperature setpoint is higher than the Cooling HVAC setpoint.

Regards,
Laurent
