Desired Parameter Inputs for Window from Manufacturer

Hi all,

My company is looking at making available some BIM models as well as compiling data on our windows to help energy modelers analyze our windows and glass into buildings.

The ones that seem most obvious to me are:

* COG U-factor
* Full Frame U-factor
* COG SHGC/SC (do people prefer one or are both useful?)
* Full Frame SHGC
* VT
* Thickness

I feel like some software requires more detailed inputs, so I've come up with the additional categories:

* Visible Transmittance by color
* Visible Reflectance Front and Back
* Solar Transmittance
* Solar Reflectance Front and Back
* UV transmittance

Please feel free to add and comment on this list. Our purpose of providing this data is to make consultants' lives easier so let me know if you think of anything that would be helpful. Thanks for your input!

Regards,
Alex Krickx
