2021-04-22 14:04:52 -0500 marked best answer Does Simple Glazing System include air films ?

Hi everyone,

I am using OpenStudio and the object WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem

I have calculated the overall U value with WINDOW 7.7. Do i need to enter the U value with air films in that object or should I enter the U value without the air films ?

According to the EngineeringReference the U value includes the film but when i look at the Report: Zone Component Load Summary at the section Fenestration Conduction in Estimated Heating Peak Load Components the value is lower than expected by around 20%, when the values for infiltration and exterior wall conduction are closed to what expected.

I have noticed that the value in Fenestration Conduction varies with the wind speed value in the design day so i guess the issue comes from the air films. Or is there something else ?

Thanks for your help
