Re: overhang shading

["Anil Misra" <anil_misra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mr.Hiramatsu,

Well one way is what Mika has suggested.

Alternatively, one can use a software called SOMBRERO, which calculated
hourly values of Geometric shading coefficients for a surface which is
shaded by any external obstacle (e.g. another building, tree etc.). It is
very easy to get the shading coefficients for windows shaded by overhangs or
sidefins, and SOMBRERO can produce an output which can be read directly by
TRNSYS Deck. These coefficients are simply given as inputs for modifying the
radiation incident on the window.

Please contact prof. F D Heidt at  heidt@physik.uni-siegen.de  to get
SOMBRERO.

Best regards,
