Revision history [back]

Hi! Firstly I would like to thank this forum for being a great help on my journey to learn E+.

I've been searching on this but i could not find a definitive answer. I'm testing out adaptations to promote thermal comfort, including shading devices, but i'm not sure if E+ (vers. 2024.1.0) considers the impact of devices, such as blinds, on ventilation, since these devices often hinder airflow.

I get the impression that E+ does not consider any impact of shading devices on ventilation, but could not find one definitive answer. If it is true, how can I adapt my simulations so this impact is considered?

I modeled my building with the OpenStudio plugin on SketchUp, but doing most changes to the IDF file directly through EP-Launch.
