Tent Modeling in EnergyPlus

Hi Bldg-Sim Community,

Has anyone out there had any experience modeling large double-walled canvas tents? I'm looking for literature on the topic and recommended modeling strategies for accounting for the convection heat transfer between the inner shell and outer rain-fly-like shell. The air gap between the two shells is large, typically between 14 and 27 inches. The hope is that all the modeling can be done in EnergyPlus. Any advice or references would be a great help!

Thanks,

Lesley Herrmann
