[Bldg-sim] WINDOW6 integral blinds

[Robin Mitchell]

Linda –

 

WINDOW 6 does not calculate the CR (Condensation Resistance) value for a
model with a shading system.

 

The message about the detailed spectral data probably has to do with the
fact that you do not have spectral data for the blind systems that you are
calculating – certainly the example files that your error messages are
referencing, ie, the Venetian A-45 blinds, do not have spectral data. The
program will still calculate a result using the averaged spectral data input
into the program – this is not a “fatal” error, just informative.

Dear Bldgsim:

 

Has anyone successfully built an integral blinds glazing system in WIndow6?
I keep getting error messages below:

 

Window 5: One of the layers for Glazing System 17 does not have detailed
spectral data or the spectral data analaysis was disabled in Preferences.
This may result in incorrect results for optical properties such as SHGC and
TVIS. Custom layers with detailed spectral data can be created in Optics and
imported into the Window Library

 

Warning: Window 5. The following Therm files do not contain current
simulation results required for CR calculation.
sample-head-IntegralVentianA-45.THM
sample-jamb-IntegralVentianA-45.THM
sample-sill-IntegralVentianA-45.THM

 

CR Data will not be available unless you resimulate the Therm files with a
current version of Therm.   

 

Thanks in advance!

Linda Lam
