[Bldg-sim] glazing with blinds

["Neil Shankland" <nshank@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Can anyone advise on the capability (or not) of esp-r to model the effects
of internal blinds in highly glazed spaces?  My interest is in predicting
comfort conditions in conservatories where the large glazed area affects
occupant comfort in terms of radiant asymmetry.  Can blinds be modelled
explicitly to determine their surface temperature and their effect on
internal & interzonal radiation distribution, or is specifying an overall
solar transmission coefficient for the glass/blind combination the only
option?
