I have no experience of the Therm/ LBNL Window link that you speak
of but as long as you're happy with working within the limitations
of the E+ shading calculation you should be fine. I'm not sure of
the latest E+ but the main historical limitation I'm aware of is
that solar gain to a zone is absorbed by the floor (with some
specific exceptions). This is expedient for most simulation tasks
but will not suffice if you wish to model solar penetrating through
subsequent zones (within a double sheet facade, where the cavity is
modelled as a zone for example). The E+ documentation is extensive
and covers this in detail.<br>
There are a number of options for the type of solar calc undertaken.
There are also options for convection coefficient. You may find both
of these affect results and simulation time.<br>
Good luck<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Friends,
I am Srishti Srivastava from India. My research topic is related to
evaluation of different types of facades in Indian context with
special reference to the modern glazed facades.
I am trying to simulate a building with curtain wall in Energy Plus. I
know of one way of doing it through Window and Therm software from
LBNL, although there are few issues in that. Is there any alternative
way to simulate curtain wall in Energy Plus.
Does anyone have a prior experience of simulating curtain wall in
Energy Plus. Can anyone help me in simulating a curtain wall in Energy
Plus.
Thanks in advance.
Srishti Srivastava,
India.
