<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a problem about the U-value of the windows
described in <SPAN class=051064815-01092005>Prebid</SPAN><SPAN
class=051064815-01092005>. T</SPAN>he value given by TRNSYS simulation does not
match with the one we calculate ourselves.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example, on a very basic building with only one
window and no solar radiation at all, when Ug=1.3 W/(mē.K), Uf=23.88 kJ/(h.mē.K)
and area of frame per window x=0.15, we calculate Uw=Ug*(1-x)+Uf/3.6*x=2.1
W/(mē.K), and the <SPAN class=051064815-01092005>u-win value output
by Prebid </SPAN>is 1.81 W/(mē.K).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there an explanation to these results and how can
we be sure to g<SPAN class=051064815-01092005>ive</SPAN> <SPAN
class=051064815-01092005>Prebi</SPAN>d the right value of U<SPAN
class=051064815-01092005>frame</SPAN> <SPAN class=051064815-01092005>in
ordert to get the right value of u-win (here </SPAN>(2.1 w/(mē.K) )?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for answering.</FONT></P>
