[Equest-users] Question on Energy consumption results

Hi,


I checked it for already defined glass library by comparing single and
double glass unit with varying specs, the area light is not changing.

I have customised the windows and curtain wall required for the project and
have customised glass specification depending on U value, SC, VLT.
Base case
U value- 1 Btu/h-ft2-F
SC-0.42
VLT-0.26

I need to check with DGU glass and overhangs what would be energy
consumption.

When I switch on the  daylight control for all shell components, the
simulation run says error.

I am attaching the file .
Please check by changing the SC and VLT, is the area light consumption
changing?

Thanks
