Revision history [back]

In a building with non-convex zones (as described here), some surfaces are seeing each other. In the EnergyPlus Documentation about External Longwave Radiation there is nothing about longwave radiation heat exchange between two exterior surfaces of the same building that are seeing each other. Does EnergyPlus take into account this kind of exchange ? If it does, can someone give me some details about it ?

Thanks
