We were generating the IGDB in IDF format for a few recent versions of
the IGDB, but what we generated caused a lot of errors in Energy Plus
because the tolerances for Transmittance + Reflectance are different
between Energy Plus and the tool that LBNL uses to generate the IGDB. I
haven't had time to get this issue resolved, and so have not been putting
the IGDB up on our IGDB website. However, I can put the IDF file up, and
put a note saying that potentially not all of the records will run
without errors in Energy Plus, so that at least you and other users would
have access to the records that do run properly. I will try to do it by
the end of the week, so check the LBNL IGDB website on Friday, and email
me directly if you don't see it there.
It's from the LBNL Windows application. However, there are
problems in using the entire data base that we have been trying to work
out with the LBNL windows people (unsuccessfully, so far).

e+7 is that there is an International Glazing Data Base (IGDB)
that can be used directly.
Where in energyplus can I find it?
