eio file in v. 9.4 mistake?
I wrote a program that run trough the eio file and collect constructions and materials
for example, this is the explanation of window construction line
! <WindowConstruction>,Construction Name,Index,#Layers,Roughness,Conductance {W/m2-K},SHGC,Solar Transmittance at Normal Incidence,Visible Transmittance at Normal Incidence
and this is one of the lines
WindowConstruction,_4-6-5 - 1001,16,1,VerySmooth,3.864,0.751,0.680,0.654
there is no problem there.
When I try to read "WindowMaterial:Shade" is the only place I get an error.
this is the explanation of WindowMaterial:Shade line
! <WindowMaterial:Shade>,Material Name,Thickness {m},Conductivity {W/m-K},Thermal Absorptance,Transmittance,Visible Transmittance,Shade Reflectance
but I think there is an extra comma in the values before the material name
WindowMaterial:Shade,,30002,1.000E-003,160.000,0.900,5.000E-002,5.000E-002,0.600
I do not have that in any other window/ or regular material
Is that a know issue or I am missing something?
@RobinCris it kind of looks like the WindowMaterial:Shade explanation line is missing the
Index
parameter, which is parameter #3 in the WindowConstruction explanation line. That would make your example WindowMaterial:Shade have anIndex = 30002
. The remaining parameters align after that.Another possible issue is that the example WindowMaterial:Shade doesn't have a name assigned because the second parameter is blank.
