Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Glass Facade

[Shefali Rajendra Modi <smodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

The inner (roomside) glass wall in a double glass facade does not interact
with the simulation. As a result even if the simulation may be completed,
the simulation outputs are incorrect. A similar problem is found in other
programs like Lightscape. I ran my simulations by making the gap between
the two glass walls as a separate zone. When I tried simulating with a
trombe wall, the simulation crashed repeatedly. You may want to try the
simulations with 1. the use of COMIS and 2. creating a glass trombe wall.

Hope this is helpful. I am very interested in this subject and I would
appreciate if you will share the responses from other members and the
outcome of your research with me.
