You can use EnergyPlus to calculate that.

Thanks Mostapha!

I'm quite new at this so excuse the follow up question. If I was trying to calculate the shading coefficient of the glass, I would only need the beam solar radiation? Beam sounds like direct sunlight.

Edit: Nevermind, I stopped being lazy. Thanks again!

Kind regards,

Theodore.

Right. And use the "Read EP Surface Result" component to bring in the results after running the simulation.
