RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Shading Coefficient





Hello Ivan,
 
There is a relationship between SC & SHGC. To perform an approximate conversion from SC to SHGC, multiply the SC value by 0.87.
 
Regards,

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.
