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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I’ve had LEED reviewers come back and ask me for my window assembly <span class="SpellE">calcs</span> and I was able to show how HAP was doing that <span class="SpellE">calc</span> 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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I spoke with CDS and they recommended modeling a small sliver of wall that is representative of the frame, which seems quite tedious.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">
Has anyone either experienced this issue, and figured out a work around?</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">
