If you look under windows, and click the "blinds drapes switching" tab, you can change window type based on outside temp or daylight level or solar incidence, etc. Then you can change glass types. The catch is that the glass type has to be a glass type code, not simplified data. I have used the switching capability for glass types that come loaded in the equest library. You should be able to create this data using Window5.<br>

<p>Any advice on creating night shading? The specification
calls for increasing the R value of the window from 2.5 to 7.7 for night
blinds. I created a conductance schedule with fraction values.
My intention is to increase the window R value by 100% to make it as close
as possible to 7.7 (2.5 to 5) and the max the fraction schedule allows. I have
not used this before. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
