Importing WINDOW 7.5 Data to eQuest 7175

asked 2020-10-23 11:37:50 -0500

updated 2020-10-24 11:03:25 -0500

After importing a WINDOW 7.5 file into eQuest 7175 (using DOE 2.3) and running a simulation - I see the U-value and SC is totally incorrect from what it should be based on the built up window system in WINDOW.

  • I have this glazing system from LBNL WINDOW 7.5: center-of-glass U-value as 0.285 and SC at 0.315 image description
  • I've exported it to a DOE-2 report under the window system in WINDOW:

Looks like there's a difference in the glass layers in the Windows screenshot and in the text data file. In the screenshot it has glass ID 5434 and in the text file its 5284, which has different thickness and emissivity. Maybe its the wrong data file?
