Hello,

I've studied the impact of "Shading:Overhang:Projection" and ""Shading:Fin:Projection". I have set tilt angle to 90°and the fractions of window door equal to 1 and I compare it to manual shading objects similar to projection description. The result are not equal and I wondering why ?

Detail of models/simulations: Energyplus version 9.2

I have made 4 simulations on a simple model without control or uses.

Secondly I have detected than using depth shading element have a big impact on solar window transmitted value ?!
