2016-04-24 07:17:56 -0500 asked a question How can I model Electrochromic glazing that switch between 4 mode?

I Know that I must use EMS, but I don't know How, I used "EnergyManagementSystem:ConstructionIndexVariable" For EMS and I Create 4 window of 4 steps in 'Construction' but I have an error warning that said:"There are 3 nominally unused constructions in input" that was related to my windows. I am afraid of modeling on wrong way and Energy plus ignore other 3 steps, should I use only "EnergyManagementSystem:ConstructionIndexVariable"? or I need to fill others EMS subdivisions? I'd be appreciate if someone help me.

For EMS should I use only "EnergyManagementSystem:ConstructionIndexVariable"?or I need to fill others EMS? I want to estimate annual heating and cooling and lighting electricity consumption when I am using Electrochroic glazing in building.

Thank you all for your answers,As Julen Marrec told I tired befor in that solution but it was not correct way to model this, As rpg777 said I tried to model it by using EMS, and I didn't received any errors, but how can I sure my model work well and is correct? I want be sure that all 4 step of Electrochromic glazing in my model work well.

I modeled it like this: I defined physical properties of steps in WindowMaterialGlazing after that I defined 4 window becuse of 4 levels of Electrochromic window in Construction(I just have 1 window in my structure and I am doubtful about defining 4 type of window) . In FenestrationSurface Detail I had to use just one of levels for define my window and I defined first level of this(am I right?). In WindowPropertyshading control I defined all 4 steps az switchable glaing , and in EMS I defined the name of windows that I made in 'Construction'. I'd be really appreciate if someone check me. thank you

in input output reference I found a model for electrochromic glazing but it just switch between tow mode (clear and dark) but I want it switch at least between 4 mode or darken continuesly . I'd be appriciate if someone help me.
