Revision history [back]

Hi all,

I am starting with OpenStudio and currently I am struggling with shading devices and especially with the ShadingControl object. I have searched the web and UnmetHours but could not find a solution to my problem.

When I follow the tutorial on Shading Controls (http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/tutorials/tutorial_shadingcontrols/), I can choose OnIfHighSolarOnWindows for the shading control type, but I can not enter the setpoint for the solar irradiation which activates the shading device.

Am I missing something here?

I am using OpenStudio 1.14.0.

Actually I would like to use the other possible shading contol types offered by EnergyPlus, but as I learned from different posts here on UnmetHours, that has to probably be achieved by a UserScript or a measure.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Alex
