Hi!created. The â??W5â?  prefprefixed to these names indicates that the
I am trying to import layer data from window5 to energyplus.
Energyplus v.4.0 input-output reference page 284 reads:
"If there is a window called ConstructionName on the Window5
data file, the data for that
window is read from the file and the following EnergyPlus
objects and their names are------------------------------------
object originated in the
Window5 data file. "
I created a window using the default Window5DataFile.dat file but I do
not see any W5:ConstructionName:GLASS1, GLASS2, etc. in the idf file.
I must be missing some step. Is there anywhere a detailed explanation
on how to import Window5 windows?
Cheers
Vincent
