<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am calculating illuminance through a window and would like to use the luminous efficacy model included in type687 NFRC window.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was looking at the proforma and noticed that the calculation of Qsbeam does not match the equation given in the documentation for type687</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In the proforma: QSBeam= Area*NUNITS*SHGC*IBEAM*COS(THETA*RDCONV)**<B>0.2</B></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In the documentation for the type the equation uses</FONT><B> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">sqrt</FONT></B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> (cos theta).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm just making sure that this is only a discrepancy in the proforma and that the dll uses the correct term. </FONT>
