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?

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to get variable flow pumping in your condenser water loop for heat rejection from a chiller? The example files provided with E+ that I have reviewed don't seem to allow this, only staged pumping. Cheers, Alex
