User Expression Window Width, Height as Function of Glass-Type

Hi All

Hoping this day find you all safe at home and healthy!

Having a LEED review head-ache. I need to change the way eQuest evaluates the assembly U-value for the proposed building.

I have 12 window types with variations in glazing, dimensions and # of mullions. The way I see it now easiest to assign each window type as a "Glass-Type" and then do an expression for height, width and frame width for each type.

Is there a way to do Height as function of Glass-Type..... the following is not working for me.

switch(#L("GLASS-TYPE"))
case "GT1" : 12
case "GT3" : 8
case "GT4" : 4
default : #@##!!
ENDSWITCH

The problem is that default : is required and all cases end up being the default.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
Melissa
