Another consideration regarding beams, columns, and other interior geometry is how all of those elements affect the penetration and distribution of the daylighting.(!) OpenStudio provides a few objects to facilitate this simulation, namely the "Air Wall" OpenStudio construction, and interior partition surface objects. When these objects are used, and Radiance is the chosen daylight simulation engine, the model will more accurately reflect the actual building geometry.
