Hi, How to model shading/overhangs in OpenBuildings Energy simulator for 'standard project' (not conceptual)?
The tab 'Shading' does not seem to work for me.
Is there any course that would cover the subject ? AECOsim Energy Simulator Modeler training does not seem to be available at the moment. When I try to download it I get the message "This page isn’t working right now".
Many thanks.
Hi Graznya,
AECOsim Energy Simulator was an older version of the software so the current training is actually listed under OpenBuildings as detailed here.
While I would advise completing the above courses, the workbooks do not cover shading at present, so you can find a guide on how to enter shading in this article. You may be omitting step 2, as this is commonly missed. Hope that helps.
Regards,
Shane
