Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Changing the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient



Nuno

You can change the SHGC by changing the properties of the glass that is
being used on the window construction. Edit and change the field
"Material:Windowglass>Solar transmittance at normal incidence". This filed
highly affects the SHGC. However, I think other input fields may also
influence the SHGC but not as much as the one I referred. On the
"Material:Windowglass:AltInput" you can also do that. Check the
"Input/Output reference" for more details.

Hope this helps!
