[Bldg-sim] Importing glazing from Window 5 to eQuest

[Robin Mitchell]

Arunabha --

 

In WINDOW 5, the Window Library has a DOE2 "report" that can be saved as a
file to be used with the DOE2 program, which in this case is eQuest. I don't
know if you already did this, and that is how you are getting the error
messages you describe below. In that file is information about the whole
window, including the glazing system, and this is the only way to import
glazing system information into DOE2.

 

What kind of "custom" glazing data are you generating from Window 5 to be
imported into eQuest ? Can you email me the DOE2 report you are generating
from WINDOW 5, if that is what you are doing ?

Subject: Importing glazing from Window 5 to eQuest

 

Hi,

 

 

Is there any way to import costumed Glazing data to eQuest from Window 5?

I tried to do it and eQuest was giving me the error - "Invalid U-value
Conditions - likely due to non-NFRC conditions being specified in the Window
program."

But when I change the "Environmental conditions" in Window 5 while creating
glazing, eQuest is showing error - "Missing or invalid Glazing Description

I saw the post
http://lists.onebuilding.org/htdig.cgi/bldg-sim-onebuilding.org/2008-Februar
y/006810.html which says about importing Window only not glazing systems!

I am wondering is there any way to do it or not?

Please help.
