Modelling window+raffstore

Post by PierNick »

Hi, I'm modelling a sliding window that can be completely open in summer nights allowing free-cooling ventilation.

1) Is it possible to modelling, in the same window, a raffstore that comes down when the window is open to prevent night intrusion?

2) How can I set the shade of the raffstore, or an external shutter, on the window during the day?

Thank you, Pier

Hi,

You could use MacroFlo to model the airflow and the shading could be added to the window Construction so you could specify it's operation (this would affect incident solar gain in the room through the window)
