Building shade : Change material / transparency of shade

@mostapha

In the model below. Is there a method to change the material or transparency of building shade ? Interested in changing the transparency of the metal screen that wraps around the building - designated here as context.

I dont see the surface as an editable element in the panel.

would like to replicate the properties of this screen for the surfaces designated under surface in the model.

Hi @upawarcannon,

For energy simulation, there are limitations to how far you can go with the details for shading faces but you can use the Transmittance Schedule to set the transmittance for these shades in your energy simulation.
