glaxing properties in Radiance

Post by normwheatley »

Hi,

Is there anywhere that explains how, in Radiance, one would assign a certain thickness to glazing or define the glass as double-glazed?

I've looked at all the documentation and workshops and nowhere is this explained. The Apache Construction Database lets you create double glazing and set the glass thickness but this is only for Apache (for thermal simulations) and does not carry over to the surface properties selections in Radiance.

thanks
Norm

Hi,

I don't think you can define the glazing thickness in this way but if you use Inner Volumes in the model this will be shown in the Radiance images depending on the wall thickness that is defined in the Constructions.
