would seem to suggest that your lights are going on for more hours, check your
day lighting settings (if on). Also, with such high U-factors, the ambient
air ( I am assuming a warm hot climate ) may be also adding to your cooling
load.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

glazing , why the cooling energy increases<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>What I did is define a new glass type with simplied method in detailed
model. Then replace the old glass with the new defined one. Can this do? How to
avoid the defauls percolate through the program? I check again and find that
there was no wrong with the conduction heat and solar radiation through window
.But the load due to occupancy /lighting/euqipment of Glass Type II
is higher than Glass Type I . And the cooling energy of Glass type II is a
little highter. It make me confused. Why the load due
to due to occupancy /lighting/euqipment was different when
Glass type changed. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And I doubt if the problem has something to do with OA load
.<BR><BR> </DIV>

nicole,<BR><BR>I can't tell you why the heating energy of glass type II may be
lower<BR>because of the better U-value. With Shading Coefficients
almost the <BR>same, there should be little change in heat gain from solar
radiation<BR>between the two types.<BR><BR>What method did you use to enter
your data? You should be careful of<BR>defaults that can percolate
through the program. For example, the <BR>window frame U-value may
not be consistent, or the glass spacer-type<BR>may be
different.<BR><BR>Another good place to look for some feedback is the building
and space<BR>peak loads summary. Here, the solar gain (heat energy
gained through <BR>radiation) and simple conditioning (energy transfered
through the<BR>glass-same as walls), are broken out. The heating
design case will<BR>not take solar radiation into account.<BR><BR>Hope this
