Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] problem with WINDOW5 input

["Edward Lyon" <eglyon@xxxxxxx>]

My reply to question 2 as a WINDOW 5 user is that a "window" in WINDOW5
is the sum of the related glass and frame members that you specify.  The
frame members are calculated in THERM and referenced by WINDOWS5.  Some
default frames may exist, but the accuracy of your window system calcs
relies on an accurate description of the whole assembly.  For energy
modeling, I also typically include part of the wall in the window frame
because there are some installed window effects that are not accounted
for if the normal adabatic conditions at the frame edge.
