Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] window heat loss and gain

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Radiant system will impact window heat loss/gain primarily by altering the 
inside surface temperature due to radiant exchange with the warm/cool radiant 
surface.  Report the inside and outside surface temperatures for both cases.  
Are you comparing the total gain/loss for a whole year, design day, or a 
particular hour?
