Thanks Bereket. I saw the example, But my Energyplus in "Construction:WindowEquivalentLayer"shows the assigned material in pink color. I don't know why, but it doesn't know the material in "Windowmaterial:Equivalentlayer"
Best,
MSM

The blind object "Windowmaterial:Blind:Equivalentlayer" is used in "Construction:WindowEquivalentLayer" object only. This object is not allowed or used with "WINDOWMATERIAL:COMPLEXSHADE" object. The "WINDOWMATERIAL:COMPLEXSHADE" object is used with complex fenestration model.
Check the documentations for details. See the example file "EquivalentLayerWindow.idf" on how to use the "Windowmaterial:Blind:Equivalentlayer".
Hope this helps
