[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: g-value vs. SHGC
hello brent,
if I comunicate for example with an architect in Germany about the
glazing, he would say something like "g-value 0.45-0.39 is Ok for
me", so I have to input a glazing material from which I know that it
will fullfill the requirements. Therefore WINDOW5 just outputs the
SHGC, I want to be sure that the glazing I input has the g-value
which is required.
I compared the values of the SHGC and the g-value of standard glazing
from a TRNSYS library, but there was no real factor (for manfacturer
data I got g=(1,10 to 1,17)* SHGC) to convert from one to the other.
This would have been the most easiest way :-)

You have to specify the individual layers of glazing material and
gases and EnergyPlus calculates and reports SHGC as an output (in
the .eio file). The Window 5 program is a big help for input data.
