<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m still working on my parametric runs, and I came
across something funny: When I change the frame width in my parametric run, the
size of the window increases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would have expected that by changing the frame width, my
rough opening stays the same size, and my glass area decreases to make room for
the frame. Instead, my glass area stayed the same and the frame was placed
around the glass- which ended up decreasing my total Wall Area (from LV-D
details of exterior surfaces). Window+Wall Area stays the same, which makes
sense, but now I have a greater proportion of façade that is frame+window…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I tried editing my parametric run using: Window/Basic
Specifications/Height and /Width – and set them equal to the height/width
of the existing window minus the frame width increase (times 2 for frame on all
sides). Unfortunately, the resultant window area was still different from my
baseline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone else come across this? How did you solve this
issue?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And as a quick backstory- the existing “window”
has no visible frame- the glass sits in a precast-concrete frame with a gasket
all the way around. So thermally, I’ve taken this to be frameless. The
retrofit window would have a frame above the concrete, as the existing system
cannot accept an Insulated Glazing Unit – which is what we would use in
the retrofit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!!<o:p></o:p></p>
