[Equest-users] Dynamic glass for windows

[Sangeetha Divakar]

Hi Deepika, 

It will be great if you shared your library file. Is the switching schedule in lieu of the switching low and high value trigger?

Do I need to look for each & every zone when my heating load switches to cooling load and at that particular moment I need to read radiation (btu/hr-ft2) on my glass? I don’t have daylighting sensors in my building so most of my saving will be at HVAC side. Also, what about switching schedule? I feel tinting is not helpful during winters? My building is located at Vermont, it’s an hospital project with higher EUI & patient rooms covers envelope zones.
