Hello all,

I'm currently working on modeling fenestration for a building that would exist on the 'top' of climate zone 6A. I see that, as with other default constructions, the default external window construction references the ASHRAE 1891.2009 standards. So my question is...how exactly does that work? I can't totally tell since the window in question refers to a material called "theoretical glass 2016" and the OS interface reports other variables but not U, SHGC. So...when I see this, should I assume that the object in question is something that just-barely meets the ASHRAE construction standard for the respective climate zone ?
