Effect of "Shade Type" on Energy Consumption

1 post / 0 new

Dear All,

We solved two separate cases to study the effect of window "shade type"
(Ref. Blind/Drapes-Switching in eQUEST) on annual cooling energy
consumption.

Case 1 - Fixed Interior "shade type"

Case 2 - Fixed Exterior "shade type"

eQUEST Results showed same annual cooling energy consumption in both these
cases.

Actually, heat input to the room should be lower for Case 2 (Fixed Exterior)
than Case 1 (Fixed Interior). So, there should be difference in the energy
consumption in these cases i.e. lower cooling energy consumption for Case 2
as compared to Case 1.

Please share your experience with window shading.

Thank You

Regards

Prasad
