What effect does SunCast link have during apache simulations?

Download PDF Version of Answer

When running apache simulations or loads calculations the SunCast link can be switched on in the simulation options dialog, this is important to allow more accurate solar tracking into the building and through interior openings, taking account of shading objects and self shading from building surfaces.

See the related PDF for more details and examples showing typical impact on solar gain calculations in simulations for different model scenarios.
