<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Ok. . . I have a situation
where I'm modeling a facility relative to ASHRAE 90.1 baseline. The
customer is using dual pane, low-e windows, with integrated venetian
blinds between the two panes of glass. One pane is low-e and the
other is clear. Air gap between the two (not Argon or anything like
that).<br><br>
I use the LBNL Windows tool, with blinds set at 45 deg, and the blinds
increase the window assembly U value and SHGC significantly.<br><br>
So for performance relative to 90.1, would it be acceptable to simply
utilize the U & SHGC from with Windows tool? Are there any
restrictions on the angle of the blinds, or whether the angle should be
different for winter vs summer?<br><br>
I'd appreciate any guidance on how to best model this scenario.<br><br>
Thank you,<br>
