Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Handling Windows in E+
Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I am not still clear how does E+ adjusts the dimensions. The text pdf p. 218 states "If there is one glazing system, the glazing system height and width from the Window5 data file are not used." Lets say my window in idf file (actual size in my building) is 1000 mm x 1600 mm but in WINDOW5 I had modeled it as Fixed (picture) window 1200 mm x 1500 mm. Will E+ adjust these diemsnions with reasonable accuracy? I guess I am trying to reduce my work, if I could, of creating E+ reports from WINDOW5.

It depends on the window details. Some windows will scale well, others will
not. See discussion in Input Output Reference titled "Importing Windows from
WINDOW 5" beginning on p. 180 (pdf p. 216), especially the top of p. 180 (pdf
p. 218).
