The larger the number, the longertime the shading computations will require, but the moreexact the result will be. Choosing the number of shadingdivisions for a specific surface requires,some judgement.If the estimated effect of the shading on the overallbuilding load is large, use more (20 to 40) divisions.Conversely, if the estimated effect of the shading on theoverall building load is small, use fewer (1-10)divisions. The minimum number of shading divisionsis one.is used to specify the total number of identical (exceptfor position) exterior wall panels located in the sameplane. This reduces the amount of data input. Itmultiplies the net area of the exterior wall (exteriorwall area minus window area minus door area). It alsomultiplies any WINDOW area and DOOR area associated withthis exterior wall panel.locate the wall in the space-coordinate system. This isdone by specifying the coordinates of the surface coordinatesystem origin associated with this wall. See alsoSec.
