hi ,i need to model shading device in form of massive ETFE roof outside the facade, this roof is semi-transparent and we can choose g-value that we want, when i model this as a 'local shade' this doesn't let me put windows in it, when i do this as a 'heated or occupied room' then it includes windows but drags the building down to 'fail' under part L DSM compliance (massive cooling demand associated with it). what would be the best way to proceed please?

Hi Guys,
This seems to be similar to my thread here:

Perhaps you can add a few more votes to get it pushed up the IES development list!
Thanks
Ross

there is no option for 'unoccupied room', if you put 'internal void' it doesn't detect this as shading with windows.

You can omit it from the calculation by simply unticking a box. Select the room in part L, look to bottom left of screen and see "Include Room(s) in Analysis?" untick the box, job done.
