<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have been 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 other layers to create
a glazing system also in OPTICS and finally imported to WINDOW, wehere
frames are added..</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Standars can be set in OPTICS, where
i have just checked that EN410 is available.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you wanted to create a metal grid,
y would employ a new glass layer with solar transmitance equal to the hole
fraction of the metallic element.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I´m sorry but I have no idea on how
you can solve your 3rd question.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Kind regards,</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#4f4f4f face="Arial">Dear All,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">By doing that I have encountered
these issues, any type of help would be greatly appreciated:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">2) Is there any settings available
to automatically use Environmental conditions as defined in EN410?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">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?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#4f4f4f face="Arial">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)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#4f4f4f face="Arial">Thank you!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">Regards,</font>
