I'm trying to model the energy savings due to improved glazing for
an apartment building. The windows will be changed from single
untinted, to triple pane low-e glass. In addition to better thermal
charistics from improved U-value and SHGC, I am trying capture the
savings due to the fact that the occupants will not have to crank up
the thermostat to raise the air temperature to compensate for the
radiant cooling due to single pane glass if you are standing near
the floor to ceiling windows in winter. <br>
<br>
I made a guess that the average occupant will put the heating set
point at 68 instead of 70 since the improved glazing will block the
radiant cooling effect. Is there a more elegant way to model this?<br>
