[Equest-users] Window6 eQUEST Results

[Otto Schwieterman]

Thanks Bruce,

 

I ended up selecting a window in the eQUEST library that was very
similar to the results that I got from Window6. 

 

What are others doing for creating their windows in eQUEST? Are you
selecting the window from the library that is the most similar to the
window that you are using? Are you importing the glass from Window6 or
are you creating the window in eQUEST?

 

What are you using for the ASHRAE 90.1 baseline window? I typically
select the window from the library that is the closest to the baseline
window values.

eQuest treats the glass and the frame as separate items.  They are
totally different thermodynamically.  There is much more to window glass
than just insulation value.  I normally create windows and frames inside
eQuest.  You could then just check with window6 to confirm your overall
value.  I don't believe many people are having success importing window
data from other programs.

Hello everyone,

 

I created a window using Window6 and the results appear to be correct
but when I import it into eQUEST the frame does not appear to import.
The total window U-Value in eQUEST is 0.25 which makes sense if it does
not include the frame but the results from Window6 shows a complete
U-Value of 0.434.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Otto
