I don't think a WindowMaterial:Shade will properly account for the film, I would instead look into creating your window in the software WINDOW from LBL. This software can model detailed layer-by-layer windows with frames and full spectral data, which can then be exported into EnergyPlus. <br>

EnergyPlus talks about the SHGC or g-Value of windows, not shading coefficients. You can convert between them. <br>

Hello, <br>
<br>
I'm running simulation wih EnergyPlus.<br>
In order to apply ECMs, I'm trying to apply insulation films to each window.<br>
The object I used is <b>WindowMaterial:Shade</b>, but I don't think my way is correct. <br>
I have limited information (Available data include solar reflectance, visible reflectance/transmittance, and shading coefficient),<br>
which is further complicating the situation. <br>
<br>
Any help will be much appreciated. <br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
p.s. BTW, I do not understand why there's no shading coefficient field in window-related objects. <br>
