[Bldg-sim] Window 5 - Creating a laminated glazing system

[D. Charlie Curcija]

Jay,

 

You can not create laminates in WINDOW5.  Laminates are created in OPTICS5
(another tool that can be downloaded from windows.lbl.gov/software) and then
they need to be imported in WINDOW5 as equivalent monolithic layers, but
with correct properties as laminate.  In WINDOW program you can not have two
layers touching each other.  They have to be separated by a gas gap.  This
process of creating laminates or applied films in OPTICS and import into
WINDOW is not quite straightforward, so you may want to consider training
session.  We are one of the companies that offer this service.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Window 5 - Creating a laminated glazing system

 

In window 5 I want to create a laminated glazing system with the following
layers:

1.       Glass

2.       Air Space

3.       Glass

4.       PVB Interlayer

5.       Glass

 

When I select 3 glass layers, the program defaults to air layers for #2 and
#4 above.  Is there a way to change this to a clear PVB Interlayer, and does
this type of layer exist in a database?

 

Thanks,
