[Bldg-sim] eQuest glass library

[Nick Caton]

Some guesses...  you might see if any of the following help you out?  I'd be curious to hear the result!

 

Try modifying the transmittance within the eQuest detailed interface.  Go to Building Shell tab, scroll down your component tree until you see glass types, click any of them and hit the Spreadsheet tab.  The Tvis values are there for your tinkering...  do those also reset when you run a simulation? 

 

If they do still reset, try from the same view to change from "Library" to "Simplified" input.  This appears to grey out the Library Column.  

 

If that doesn't work... you might try right-clicking any cell, select "Tutorials and Reference"  à  "DOE2 Glass Library.xls"  That opens up an excel file installed to your computer alongside eQuest... modifying it might give the desired results, but I'm unsure...

Hi All,

 

I need to change some values (Tvis) in the equest glass library for a particular glass type code (2800, 2801). I tried to change this in the BDL file for the particular project, but it appears that inp and bdl file are reading from a central location, and the changes I make are replaced by the library default values when I run the simulation. I cannot use the Windows 5 route as the glass type I am trying to modify is an electrochromic glass and hence only glass types from the glass library can be used. 

 

Any pointers on where the root glass library info is located and on how to change the library Tvis value for a particular library glass type code? 

 

Thanks

Thulasi
