Could you be more specific?

  • different window sizes? yes
  • different window technologies (double-glazed + tripled-glazed)? yes

I would like to be able to enter an old type of construction with different windows: several elements in single glazing and others in double glazing

@Jej, you wrote: "several elements in single glazing and others in double glazing".

  • Open any .osm file (here, the seb.osm file that comes with the OpenStudio Application)
  • Go to the Subsurfaces sub-tab, under the Spaces tab
  • Drag-n-drop one of the standard library constructions (suitable for windows):

  • Check out the initial vs altered window constructions/materials:

On the left, the initial simple glazing system material (representative of a double glazing unit). On the right, the newly added glazing window material (single pane).

Is this what you're after?
