Jay,
PVB layers exist in the optic5 database and you have to create the
laminate like Charlie said and import into windows5.
There is good documentation from optics 5 and windows 5 about importing,
but the fine details will probably give you a headache. The
documentation to import a layer into optics is available here:
http://windows.lbl.gov/materials/optics5/documentation/import_a_layer_in
_optics.htm
Documenation for importing from optics to windows is here:
http://windows.lbl.gov/software/window/FAQ/GlassLibUpdate.html
I contacted Viracon for a a couple glazing files that are not in the
windows 5 database and the two people I spoke with were both very
helpful and sent me instructions for importing from optics to windows.
With their info, the documentation, and a little patience, it finally
worked out.
I sent you the two pdfs they sent me.
Sam

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Window 5 - Creating a laminated glazing system
In window 5 I want to create a laminated glazing system with the
following layers:
1. Glass
2. Air Space
3. Glass
4. PVB Interlayer
5. Glass
When I select 3 glass layers, the program defaults to air layers for #2
and #4 above. Is there a way to change this to a clear PVB Interlayer,
and does this type of layer exist in a database?
Thanks,
