[EnergyPlus_Support] Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index

[Angel Lam <tz_lam@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, everyone,

I have a question regarding the "Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index"

In my simulation model, I dont have any shading in the window, the glazing used is normal double clear glass. I put the Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index = 22, the Glare Index at Ref Point at certain point is still higher 22.

My questions are

1. Is it true that "Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index" will only be activated when there is window shading?

2. Window without shading, the result of glare from window will not be altered by the input of  "Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index" ?

Thank you very much if any one can answer.

Lam
