Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: convection coefficient

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No, you can specify the exact surface that you want to apply the 
convection coefficients to -- unless you want to do all exterior windows.

For example, if you wanted to set convection coefficients for a surface:
  CONVECTIONCOEFFICIENTS,
          ZONE SURFACE SOUTH,
          Interior,
          Value,
          3.076,
          ,
          Exterior,
          Value,
          10.22,
          ;

When you are doing more than one surface you would use:
   CONVECTIONCOEFFICIENTS:MULTIPLESURFACE,
     AllExteriorWindows,      !- SurfaceTypes
     Exterior,                !- Convection Type #1
     MoWitt;                  !- Convection Value Type #1

I don't know -- you might look at the example file
AirflowWindowsAndBetweenGlassShades.idf

for some ideas.
