Call the manufacturer.  They should be able to give you whole unit U-values
for standardized window sizes.
 
I think that Window5 software from LBL can do this as well but a phone call
is quicker.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] glass u-vals
 
ASHRAE 90.1 window U-vals are for the "assembly."
Manufacturer's data for my project is for "center of glass."
 
Is anyone familiar with a way to get from one to the other?
 
I have a frame type and u-value; however, Fund. Chap 31 seems to caution
against doing hand calcs due to edge-of-glass effects.
 
Thanks,
