[EnergyPlus_Support] Calculating effective SHGC



Hi all,

Does anyone have any insight on a good approach for calculating the effective SHGC of a window in E+. (I'm not asking for the rated SHGC, but rather what actually happens over a year). SHGC = transmittance + absorbed solar radiation that eventually convects and radiates inwards. 

The transmitted part is directly reported by E+, but the absorbed part that makes its way inward is not directly reported (because the net convection and radiation are provided; not just that caused by solar radiation). 

Your thoughts are welcome.

Thanks in advance!
