Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

Seems entirely automated by OpenStudio (SDK), based on the following weighted area distribution (see here, Lines 170 to 190):
- 5% of radiant energy (not on people) hits floor surfaces
- 40% of radiant energy (not on people) hits ceiling surfaces
- 55% of radiant energy (not on people) hits wall surfaces
You can easily test this with the Example model that comes with the OpenStudio Application. Check the ZoneHVAC:CoolingPanel:RadiantConvective:Water object in the generated in.idf - a tally of surface type-specific area weights will match the above distribution.
Haven't checked if these can be adjusted via EMS.

Haven't checked if tried, but one should be able to adjust these can be adjusted via EMS.with an EnergyPlus Measure.

Haven't tried, but one should be able to adjust these with an EnergyPlus Measure. - or even by editing the generated IDF a text editor.
