Good Morning All,
I have just applied Quadrupal pane high performance windows to a model of an
existing building to see what kind of energy consumption improvement can be
achieved. Does anyone know where to find the U-value of various windows in
eQuest? All I see currently in the spreadsheet is a "U-value (center)" which
i believe is referring to only the center panel of glass? Is there anywere
in eQUEST where the overall U-value is called out?
look in the .sim file using either notepad or the bldg-sim viewer
program (latter is easier). the "details of construction" report will
tell you all of the applied u-values.
The LV-D Details of Exterior Surfaces report shows assembly U-values. I
just scroll down to the last page to get average whole-building window
assembly U-values if I am only using one window type.
Regards,
Bill
If you are using general window constructions (ie not brand-specific) you can also find data in the "eQUEST 3-63 Data\Window Folder". There is an excel spreadsheet "eQUEST-DOE2 Glass Library.xls" that has info on various packages.
