In EnergyPlus, it is possible to find the direction of the beam solar radiation incident on a surface window.

I wondered if EnrgyPlus considers the direction of the Window Transmitted Beam Solar Radiation the same as the incident one?

In reality, the window glass has an index of refraction that causes changes in the transmitted beam solar radiation direction (due to refraction of light).

I wanted to know if EnergyPlus considers this direction change or not? And if it does, how is it possible to find the direction of the beam solar radiation transmitted from the window using an output variable?

In reality, the window glass has an index of refraction that causes changes in the transmitted beam solar radiation direction (due to refraction of light).light) when it comes from a medium with a different index of refraction such as air.

I wanted to know if EnergyPlus considers this direction change or not? And if it does, how is it possible to find when the direction light passes through media with different indexes of the beam solar radiation transmitted from the window using an output variable?refractions?
