<DIV><SPAN class=210492414-29052009><FONT face=Univers color=#0000ff size=2>What
do you mean by "more energy efficient"? If you are referring to U-value,
the result does seem counter-intuitive (unless the negative result is actually a
reduction in energy shown as a "negative"). If however, you consider a
reduction in the SHGC to be more energy efficient, this may in fact lead to
increased energy use in heating dominated climates since less solar gain is
available in the winter. As I said, seeing the simulation would be
helpful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

are beginners on the E-Quest program and are feeling our way around the
program. Among many other questions that we may have we are in a quandry
as to why, when we use a more energy efficient window in the EEM
module, the results show a negative effect in our simulation. Is
there some basic fundimental we,re missing here?</FONT> <BR><BR>John
