Hi all,

I am investigating the effects of reflectivity on the solar radiation reflected between two buildings. This is the model for my simulation.

By varying the reflectivity on the external walls on the two buildings, I am trying to find out how the ...

Hi Cp,

I have used the sectioning using divide space in edit mode. However, when I ran the simulation to investigate the radiation incident on the sectioned building, it gave me similar results for all 9 sections. I would like to find the different amount of radiation incident on individual ...

Hi Terence, thanks for your reply.

I have used the sectioning using divide space in edit mode. However, when I ran the simulation to investigate the radiation reflected between the 2 buidlings (with an air gap in the middle), it gave me similar results for all 9 sections. I would like to find the ...

Hi all,

I am doing an investigation on the radiation reflected between the exterior surface of two buildings. I would like to find out the radiation incident on the different parts of the exterior of the building. I was wondering how I could section the outer wall into many different parts (ie 9 ...

I would hazard a guess that the surface solar flux increases when you move the buildings apart because it then exposes more of the wall to direct solar gains (less self shading between the two) which is likely to have far more impact on the solar flux than the reflected components between the ...

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use IES to simulate and find out the radiation reflected between 2 buildings.

Right now I've tried to simulate this problem by creating 2 buildings with an air gap (internal room) in between. The internal room consist of 100% window opening to simulate the ...

Hi guys,
May I know if its possible to calculate the reflected radiation between 2 buildings by varying the surface reflectance on the buildings?

If possible, can someone please enlighten me on how to do it?

Thanks in advance!
