[Equest-users] Problem with Sage Glass Analysis

[Nicholas Caton]

IIRC, the switch-hi properties correspond to when the variable (direct
solar radiation in your case) is at the high point you provide.



If #2862 is the relatively tinted option, I would intuitively assign that
as the ‘switch hi’ option.



To move your simulation towards better accuracy, you will probably want to
define custom glass types for both the “switched” and “unswitched” states,
with reference to the properties specified/documented for the product you
are emulating.

Does anyone know which values I should use for 'switch high' and 'switch
lo' for the window properties in the detailed design wizard? At the moment,
I am using 2862 and 2863 glass types to model tinted and un-tinted glass. I
am also using the 'direct sol inc' option for the switch control.

Hi,

I am attempting to model energy saved by installing electrochromic glass
for use in a large west facing lobby area into eQUEST. Given that eQUESTS
capabilities only include modeling a single tint for a pane of glass in a
shell, how would I go about analyzing electricity consumption with the
electrochromic glass for each hour over the course of a year? If anybody
either has thoughts on this or has done this in the past, I would sure
appreciate it.

Thanks,
