SunCast - Module

Post by Cristian »

Hello all,

If i do not have the licence for the SunCast how is this going to affect my room loads calculation. I will stil have shade from my shade device that are on my building facade or these shading device will not be taking in to consideration when room load calculation is made.

Thank you

Shading devices drawn on the model (i.e. drawn with room type local shading, adjacent building or topographical shading) will not affect the model unless SunCast has been run.

Approximations of the effects of shading devices can be entered into the software without the need for SunCast using the Constructions Database Shading Devices inputs on the Glazed Constructions
