    Creating Rooflights

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Energy Simulator
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Building Modelling
      Subarea: Roof modeling 

    Overview

    This article outlines how to place rooflights in an Energy Simulator model.

    Method

    To add roof lights to a roof section:

    1. Go to the Roof menu as below, then to Design roof option. Once your roof sections have been traced, you can use the “ Add Rooflight” tool to introduce Roof lights:

                                                               

    2. Please note that if you find it difficult to see your roof plan it is recommended to alter your View type, for example to Transparent:

                                                                        

    3. Then, simply trace the roof lights by left-clicking at each corner of the rooflight location.  Right-click to complete.


    Once traced, to ensure the surfaces are created in the relevant rooms below please ensure to Setup roof:
