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.
