[Bldg-sim] "Opaque" windows

[Zhukovskiy, Sergey]

Hi Robert

Usually different building codes (BCA in Australia, as an example)
define windows as 'a device which transmits natural light directly from
the outside'. If you have an 'opaque' system this probably can not be
treated as a 'window'.

SHGC is '0' for any non-transparent/non-translucent systems including
'opaque windows'.

Cheers

Does anybody know a SHGC for "Opaque" windows?  I think they painted 
them black.

I don't think "0.00" is appropriate, but I'm willing to listen to
reason...
