RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Shading Coefficient





Thanks Jim!

I've a big database, but, i've asked this because some manufacturers, unfortunately, just share U value and shading coefficient.

Have a nice job.

Ivan,
E+ has no place for shading coefficient.
The WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazing system uses Solar Heat Gain coefficient (SHGC), which is a different property that addresses soalr performance.
WindowMaterial:Glazing uses properties (transmittance, reflectance, etc.) which, together, describe the solar performance of the glass.
If you are not aware of the extensive database of glass / window properties available from the IGDB and also the Window software from Lawrence Berkeley, you should investigate that helpful resource.
