<div id=":19m" class="ii gt">
<p>We are trying to model a house with a movable external
insulation layer over the window controlled by building control system. We
intend it to insulate the window during the peak summer and winter months. Is
there a way to schedule the insulation layer such that it changes the U value
of the window when it is in place. </p>
<p>this is what we tried to do:</p>
<p>1. We tried to manipulate the insulation layer as an
external building <span> </span>shade, but it doesn't
affect the window u value. </p>
<p>2. We also tried to assign the insulation layer as an external
movable blind in the window layer and then apply the conductance T-min schedule
and the conductance schedule but it still doesn't seem to show any difference
in the energy consumption values. </p>
<p>Is there anyone who can suggest another way to apply this
movable insulation control within eQuest </p>
<p>Thanks a lot, </p>
<p>Kind Regards, </p>
