[Equest-users] [Bldg-sim] Glass center-of-glass to assembly U-Value?

[Josh Greenfield]

ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Section 5.8.2.5 exception (b) allows the SHGC/SC
center-of-glass to be an acceptable alternative for determining
compliance with the SHGC/SC requirements for the overall fenestration
area.

Can we use glass center of glass shading coefficient for the assembly ?
If not, is there any similar table for assembly shading coefficient
calculation? 

Thanks.

Attached is a handy spreadsheet from the Oregon Energy Code User's
Manual.  Hopefully this is what you are looking for.

Does anyone have any rules of thumb on a quick/easy approximation for
taking a Center-of-Glass U-value and converting it to an Assembly
U-value based on industry standard assembly constructions?  I know this
depends on a lot of variables, like frame material and conductance, and
the size of the overall glass assembly, etc., but I'm just looking for a
quick estimate on performance reduction for comparisons to other window
types for a particular building.

 

Also, is there an ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Baseline glass Visible Light
Transmittance (VLT)?
