Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] switchable glazing electricity use

["Jim Dirkes jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the opinion that the amount of power needed to switch the glazing is very small - but I have not checked manufacturer data.

I recommend that you check the technical literature of a manufacturer of this glazing.

Hi,

when switchable glazing is used, it should have an effect on the electricity consumption when the shading is activated. in the output files, i cannot see the electricity use associated with this kind of glazing. any ideas?

thanks!
