Hi
I am quite new to Openstudio, and just started using v1.9. I realize there is a known issue with BCL, and materials or constructions downloaded from the BCL do not load into OS.
Is there a way to create a glazing type (with specific aluminium framing, double glazing, coating, gas fill etc) of specific SHGC, R-value etc from scratch?
Please help.
Yes, you can create some fenestration materials/constructions with the OpenStudio Application (App). Yet not every EnergyPlus option is available through the App.
The most basic is the Simple Glazing System Window Material (requires rated U, SHGC & VT) - look up the "Materials" subtab under the "Constructions" tab:
At the opposite end, EnergyPlus can import LBNL Window data for a specific fenestration product. See here, and/or look up "5.4 Getting data from WINDOW program" here. I don't believe this is supported in the App, but it is mapped to the SDK behind the scenes, e.g.:
OS:Construction:WindowDataFile,
{90d22889-50da-4091-8355-fa2ff516e4e6}, !- Handle
Construction Window Data File 1; !- NameIt's very basic - something you could copy/paste in a saved OSM file (before reopening using the App).
You can also look up Frame and Dividers (see here).
... it really depends on what you're after, and what inputs you have on hand.
