Does eQuest take into account the glazing color similarly to the way it treats roof and wall color?
"Roof Exterior Color is used by eQUEST to set the exterior surface absorbtivity which influences the rate of heat loss/gain as a function of solar incidence."
A building uses glass that is tinted black and lets very little solar radiation directly into the space, but absorbs most of this radiation and transmits into the space via conduction. The western glass is around 140 degrees in the afternoon.
Or does SHGC inherently take this absorb and transmit into account?

All,
I have long set keyword values using expressions of the type:
PARAMETER "Daylight Flag" = "YES"
...
ABC = SPACE
DAYLIGHTING = {#si(#pa("Daylight Flag"),"SPACE","DAYLIGHTING")}
...
..
But I'm stymied trying to do the same thing for SYSTEM TYPE
PARAMETER "Tel Data Type" = "SZRH"
XYZ = SYSTEM
TYPE = { #si(#pa("Tel Data Type"),"SYSTEM","TYPE") }
....
..
I've had a similar failure trying to set the simple VARIABLE-SPEED = YES/NO values under the CHILLER command.
Does anyone know if there is any way to set the system type or other problematic keywords using input expressions set up in some different manner?
Many thanks if you can help.

Joe,
If I were you I would use Win5 to create my windows. There is a multitude of
glass types and colors to choose from in it.

How about setting them up one run at a time by saving and renaming your file
and then making the change. A pain, I know, but when in doubt.....
