Think of OPTICS as virtual glass laboratory. It is used to define individual
glass layers and standard file in OPTICS is used to get broad band (integrated)
solar-optical properties. However, that is for informational purposes only, as
the main purpose of OPTICS is to provide spectral data for individual glass
layers. In order to correctly calculate glazing system solar-optical properties
(Transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, SHGC, VT) in WINDOW 5 or 6, you need
to set correct spectrum standard in WINDOW as well (Preferences/Optical
Data/Standards File), otherwise the results will be incorrect regardless of
what was used in OPTICS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Also, OPTICS is necessary only if you are creating glass layer
that does not exist in WINDOW glass library (such as laminates, applied films, measured
performance of new glasses, etc.). Otherwise, it is an unnecessary extra step.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

workin for some time with the fenestration programs from the LBNL and due to
their hierarchy, a new layer should be defined in OPTICS, then comfined with

<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4F4F4F'>Dear
All,</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>I
am trying to calculate with WINDOWS 6.2 the thermal
and optical properties of a facade system. The system is
composed by a double pane glass and an exterior shading system. The shading is
parallel to the facade plane, it is 750 mm (2'6") detached form the glass
and it is made by a metal grid with openness factor that could
range from 30% to 60%. The goal is to see how the component properties are
varying depending on different grid's opening factors.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>By
doing that I have encountered these issues, any type of help would
be greatly appreciated:</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>1)
Here in Italy the standard for glass calculation is the EN410 is there any way
to use it with WINDOWS 6.2? I have tried to copy the zip file from the
Windows knowledge base into the suggested folder but I am not seeing
how it is then possible to select the standard for the calculations.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>2)
Is there any settings available to automatically use Environmental conditions
as defined in EN410?</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>3)
For some reasons, depending on the Environmental Condition that I am selecting,
there are some results in the calculation that are N/A. Is there any reason for
this?</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4F4F4F'>4)
To model the metal grid I am using the Woven Shade, is that the right option?
(This is actually the case I am modeling)</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4F4F4F'>Thank
you!</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>Regards,</span>
