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?
