EMSThermochromicWindow AND ThermochromicWindow in examples files, each one give different results
so, which is the best way to add Thermochromic window to my modelling with EMS or with window material glazingGroup thermochromic  ???
 
by using EMS for Switchable windows, it doesn't calculate the cooling loads for the zones .. Any one know WHY???

@rewaaesam@hotmail.com">@rewaaesam@hotmail.com what output for cooling loads in the zone is showing 0 when using EMS for dynamic glazing?

the EMS modelling approach can be
considered a suitable alternative to the EnergyPlus
built-in model, and it could also be successfully
extended to other dynamic glazing technologies that
do not have a built-in model available in EnergyPlus,
provided that an accurate thermo-optical
characterisation of the dynamic glazing is available.
