<DIV><SPAN class=323390118-11012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In the
detailed interface of eQuest you can create a window using the "LAYER"
method. This allows you to create a layered window with louver, air and
glass layers. The louver can be internal, external or between two layers
of glass. DOE 2.2 documentation discusses it in detail. You can
define the lover properties such as thickness, width, height, spacing,
angle....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

is probably the best (and easiest) way to do what you want.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

feet on either one or both sides to have the same effect as multiple smaller
fins or louvers? It will look odd on the graphic though! But will it have a
similar shading effect? </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P align=left><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Or is it
best to define it as a fixed or bldg shade with a shading
schedule/transmissivity? The orientation of the building is final so either
fixed or bldg shade should work.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> </SPAN></P>
