[EnergyPlus_Support] modeling windows with Window5 and EPlus

["Aslihan Tavil" <tavil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everybody,

I am a new user of EPlus. I am trying to simulate different 
residential buildings with various window systems. I am using Window5 
to create the window systems., I specified the frame type both in 
EPlus and Window5. I was wondering if Energy+ takes into account the 
detailed window frame and divider data when I use Window5 data where I 
also specify the frame properties. EPlus issues a warning that the 
data will be replaced with frame and divider from Window5 data file. 
Do I have to enter all glazing properties in EPlus, if I want to take 
account the frame properties such as inside and outside projections? I 
assume I don't have to create exactly the same window in Window5 with 
EPlus since EPlus takes center of glass values into account?

Thank you in advance  

Aslihan
