Why shading system reduces heating energy demand if it's only available during summer?
I implemented windows shading systems in my building energy model. The simulation results show a reduction of the cooling energy consumption but also a reduction of the heating energy consumption. I don't understand why this happens since the shading system is available only during the cooling season.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Please add a tag that specifies what software you are using, e.g., 'openstudio', 'designbuilder', 'equest', etc. Thx.
@Cristina could you post a link to your model?
