That is, I only want to allow switching when the outside dry bulb is over 60 F, and I want the switch to occur instantaneously when the glazing receives 15.9 BTU/hft^2 direct solar incident radiation. I don't have experience with user expressions/if statements in eQUEST. I've been successful in implementing switchable glazing based only on temperature or only on direct solar incident, but not on both.
