RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Calculate window



I'm not sure what the specific differences are in this case, but I would expect differences in the output results between the IDF and WINDOW5 inputs.  I thought that the original point of using WINDOW5 inputs was to bring the more detailed analysis of window performance to the energy model rather than using the generic IDF model...

We are working to correct differences between window systems imported
from WINDOW5 and input directly through the EnergyPlus IDF. For the
present, I would favor the results from direct IDF input.
