Revision history [back]

The E+ v9.5 documentation seems to indicate that you can use "Shading Control Type"="OnNightAndOnDayIfCoolingAndHighSolarOnWindow" in conjunction with a "Schedule Name" (in which you would define the building occupancy). You'd also need to set "Shading Control Is Scheduled"="Yes".

But if it doesn't support that, then I think your only option is to use "Shading Control Type"="OnIfScheduleAllows" and create an EMS program that actuates the schedule value with all the logic (building occupancy, solar radiation vs radiation setpoint, cooling load) embedded within.
