caveat is that DOE-2 report file cannot be generated for the real window frames,
but you can use average U-factor for your actual frames and create a generic

deficiency in DOE-2 functionality.&nbsp; EnergyPlus report does not have this deficiency.&nbsp;
For other simulation programs, it is hard to say what they would need, but

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>My company is looking at making available some BIM models as
well as compiling data on our windows to help energy modelers analyze our
windows and glass into buildings.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The ones that seem most obvious to me are:<o:p></o:p></p>

<ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'>COG U-factor<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'>Full Frame U-factor<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'>COG SHGC/SC (do people
     prefer one or are both useful?)<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'>Full Frame SHGC<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'>VT<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'>Thickness<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I feel like some software requires more detailed inputs, so
I&#8217;ve come up with the additional categories:<o:p></o:p></p>

<ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'>Visible Transmittance by
     color <o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'>Visible Reflectance Front
     and Back<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'>Solar Transmittance<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'>Solar &nbsp;Reflectance
     Front and Back<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'>UV transmittance<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Please feel free to add and comment on this list. Our
purpose of providing this data is to make consultants&#8217; lives easier so
