Description
General Summary
Schedule:File:Shading allows you to import pre-calculated shading calculations. This was added in E+ 8.9.0
Detailed Description
You run once with ShadowCalculation Output External Shading Calculation Results set to Yes. which will output a eplusshading.csv (potentially large)
Then you can switch ShadowCalculation Algorithm to "Imported" and add a Schedule:File:Shading that points to the previously created eplusshading.csv and E+ will reuse it
