[EnergyPlus_Support] Window5 Data

[Karen Walkerman <kwalkerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to export data from Window 5 and specify window construction types.

I am following the guidelines for exporting from Window5 here:

http://windows.lbl.gov/software/window/52/W5-EPlusInputFile.html

however, this saves the export file as a txt file, whereas the EnergyPlus guidelines specify the need for a .dat file.  I have tried the following:

1.  change the file extension from .txt to .dat

2.  specifying the filename as windows.txt in the idf file.

For case 1, I get the following warning:

** Severe ** No match on WINDOW5 data file for Construction=MARVIN_INTEGRITY_366, or error in data file.
** ~~~ ** ...Looking on file=C:\EnergyPlusV5-0-0\windows.dat

For case 2, I get the following warning:

** Severe ** No match on WINDOW5 data file for Construction=MARVIN_INTEGRITY_366, or error in data file.
** ~~~ ** ...Looking on file=C:\EnergyPlusV5-0-0\windows.txt

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks,

--

Karen
