[TRNSYS-users] u value changes in TRNSYS

[David BRADLEY]

Enyuan,
    The u-value (and g-value) shown in the upper right corner of the 
TRNBuild window type manager are for display only; these values are 
simply read out of the w-4 library. At the end of the file, you will 
find some lines that look like the following:

  11015 OPTWHITE15                                   15 5.5 0.87 
0.852    0.075   0.90    1   15.00
  12001 Pilkington,OPTITHERM,Coating#3               4/16/4 1.3 0.64 
0.516    0.213   0.76    2   24.00

The u-value fields are shown in red, the g-value (SHGC) values are shown 
in blue. You can write whatever numbers you want in those fields; 
TRNBuild picks them up and displays them.
Kind regards,
  David
