[Bldg-sim] WINDOWS 6.2

[rgaray at labein.es]

Dear Emanuele

I have been workin for some time with the fenestration programs from the 
LBNL and due to their hierarchy, a new layer should be defined in OPTICS, 
then comfined with other layers to create a glazing system also in OPTICS 
and finally imported to WINDOW, wehere frames are added..

Standars can be set in OPTICS, where i have just checked that EN410 is 
available.

If you wanted to create a metal grid, y would employ a new glass layer 
with solar transmitance equal to the hole fraction of the metallic 
element.

I´m sorry but I have no idea on how you can solve your 3rd question.

Kind regards,

Roberto Garay

[Bldg-sim] WINDOWS 6.2
Dear All,

I am trying to calculate with WINDOWS 6.2 the  thermal 
and optical properties of a facade system. The system is composed by a 
double pane glass and an exterior shading system. The shading is parallel 
to the facade plane, it is 750 mm (2'6") detached form the glass and it is 
made by a metal grid with openness factor that could range from 30% to 
60%. The goal is to see how the component properties are varying depending 
on different grid's opening factors.

By doing that I have encountered these issues, any type of help would 
be greatly appreciated:

1) Here in Italy the standard for glass calculation is the EN410 is there 
any way to use it with WINDOWS 6.2? I have tried to copy the zip file from 
the Windows knowledge base into the suggested folder but I am not seeing 
how it is then possible to select the standard for the calculations.

2) Is there any settings available to automatically use Environmental 
conditions as defined in EN410?

3) For some reasons, depending on the Environmental Condition that I am 
selecting, there are some results in the calculation that are N/A. Is 
there any reason for this?

4) To model the metal grid I am using the Woven Shade, is that the right 
option? (This is actually the case I am modeling)

Thank you!

Regards,

Emanuele
