Hi,

Working on a LEED energy model in Trace. I typically use HAP, which 
allows the input of a window frame type, and it then calculates the 
entire window assembly U-value and SC, rather than just the glass.

I've had LEED reviewers come back and ask me for my window assembly 
calcs and I was able to show how HAP was doing that calc based on the 
frame type as well. However, I can't find anything similar in Trace, and 
I'm getting nervous about how to show assembly calculations to a LEED 
reviewer. I've had terrible luck in the past getting assembly values 
from the manufacturer as well.

I spoke with CDS and they recommended modeling a small sliver of wall 
that is representative of the frame, which seems quite tedious.

Has anyone either experienced this issue, and figured out a work around?

Thanks!

*Ben Hollon, *
