Infrared Transparent| MRT calculation

Hi all,

Has anyone come across an issue with the calculation of mean radiant temperatures in zones where one of the envelope constructions includes a Material:InfraredTransparent? We have been getting unusually high MRTs in spaces with this type of construction, which when replaced by a standard construction disappears. Does anyone know how 'surface temperatures' are set for MRT calculation when this type of material/construction is used?

Cheers, Alex
