[Bldg-sim] Importing WINDOW 5 file into eQUEST

[Robin Mitchell]

I have added information to the WINDOW 5.2 Knowledge Base explaining how to
generate the DOE-2 input file from WINDOW. Here is the Knowledge Base URL:

http://windows.lbl.gov/software/window/52/W52_faq.html

There is a DOE-2 section at the top, and the first link in that section is
to the page explaining how to make the input file from WINDOW.

Kevin:

Sorry for the confusion.

1. )  In WINDOW, click on 'Libraries' at the top and then click on
(check mark) 'Window F2'

2.)  Once the window system has been developed, click on the 'REPORT'
icon on the left side and then make sure that the Report Type is 'DOE-2'

3.)  Give this file a unique name and it will be ready for import into
eQuest.

Again, sorry for the confusion on the previous e-message.

Hi Paul,

I don't understand what you mean by:

 "import a file from Window into EQuest using a "Glazing System" file
from WINDOW rather than the "Window" (whole product) file from WINDOW

When you then go on to say: " click the
Report button and specify Report Type = DOE"

If you try to report a glazing system it will only allow you to do this
as a "detailed" report. Whereas the "Window" (whole product) allows you
to do the DOE report!

I'm trying to do this too and it doesn't seem to work. I have done it
before but I don't seem to be able to do it again!

Kind Regards,
Kevin

Irene:

Robin Mitchell from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was gracious
enough to previously help me with somewhat of the same question.

Import a file from WINDOW into Bequest using a "Glazing System" file
from WINDOW rather than the "Window" (whole product) file from WINDOW.

You need to generate this file from the Window Library -- click the
Report button and specify Report Type = DOE, save that file under
whatever name you wish, and then it is ready for import it into Bequest.

In the detailed mode of bequest, go to the BUILDING SHELL icon, scroll
down to 'Glass Types' on the left side and right click on the 'Import a
Window 4/5 Report file...'

Hopefully this helps.

Hello,

I would like to import a WINDOW 5 file into eQUEST, but I'm not sure how
to do it and what format it needs to be exported as.  Any pointers would
be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Irene
