What does Ref-A-M in Sgl Ref-A-M Clr 6mm on BCL stand for?
Same for Ref-B in Sgl Ref-B-H Clr 6mm.
These windows on the BCL come directly from the E+ dataset WindowConstruct.idf
. The nomenclature used is described atop the file, for Ref-X,Y
see WindowConstructs.idf#L18:
! Ref-X-Y One pane has a metallic reflective coating where:
! X=A: stainless steel coating
! B: titanium coating
! C: pewter coating
! D: tin-oxide coating
! Y=L: low-transmittance coating
! M: medium-transmittance coating
! H: high-transmittance coating
This file also has a comment atop each window construction that gives a few parameters, here's for your first one, WindowConstructs.idf#L128
! U=4.664 SHGC=0.261 TSOL=0.11 TVIS=0.14
Construction,
Sgl Ref-A-M Clr 6mm, !- Name
REF A CLEAR MID 6MM; !- Outside Layer
All but one of these parameters are also on the BCL, here is the same window, you'll see it has the U, SGHC and TVIS information as metadata too.
Edit: Interestingly enough, the "Description" field should have given you the answer, I quote:
Description: Window construction from EnergyPlus 8.0 WindowConstructs.idf dataset.

It'd be nice to include links to the BCL components.
