The "surface" depends on the climate.
Cooling dominated climates benefit from the low-E on the inside surface of the outside pane.
Heating dominated climates benefit from the low-E on the outside surface of the inside pane.
Such characteristics are normally defined by the applicable codes for a given location.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Design Builder : Low E coated surface
Hello all,
I am trying to model several types of Low E glazing in Design Builder to understand the effect on the peak heating and cooling load.
While choosing different glazing, I could not understand which surface of the glazing has the Low E coating.
I would appreciate any inputs about this aspect.
Thanks,
