Revision history [back]

In my project there is a residential with a shield of scaffolding added to its' facade which is used as a stand for the leaves of plants (basically green wall) to grow on. Hence I need to sort of simulate the leaves in OpenStudio in order to calculate the shadows and so on. I have made one module of this scaffolding in a "shading surface group" and 2 network planes to represent the leaves of the plants! Here is the pic of it. I just wanted to get some advice on it and if you think this approach would work at all! Please guide me how it's better to do that. Thanks
