Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] A question about the center-of-glass conductance
I suspect that radiant heat transfer inside and outside are affecting your
results. Repeat your test with a simple single-pane construction and set the
IR Hemispherical Emissivity: Front Side (and Back Side) to 0.00001 to supress
radiant transfer. Does this compare better?
For a double-pane system, you will need to define two instances of the glass,
one with IR Hemispherical Emissivity: Front Side set to 0.00001 and another
with IR Hemispherical Emissivity: Back Side set to 0.00001. You need to keep
the radiant transfer across the window gas active.
