RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Single glazing window properties
Krishnan,
I guess you mean whole window U factor. If yes, you can use the following
data. This window had overall U factor of 1.23 (Btu/hr-ft2F) (including
frame) with single glazing system. You will need to put this data in a txt
file. I used generic Aluminum frame.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Single glazing window properties
I am trying to model a single glazing with U-factor 1.22. I have not
been successful with modifing the glass thickness or U-factor. Any
tips to adjust the glass properties for desired window U-factors or
sample idf material and construction definitions will be appreciated.
