Skylight

Post by Mbe »

I have simply no clue how to get the glazing properties in IESVE right? I have been reading 13.1 Manufacturers' Data under Hints and Tips and have tried to make it several times but I do not simply understand how this is working. Can someone explain by showing an example?

Thank you in advance!

I just adjust emissivities, transmittances etc. till i get what i am after. Adjust numbers then check the derived parameters. I totally agree with you on this. Why they cannot just use the data ALL the glazing manufacturers issue is beyond me. Frankly its ludicrous. I've phoned glazing firms up asking for the stuff IES request and it leaves them dumb. They don't know it generally and it can take weeks to get it. Thus just fiddle with the numbers and you'll get the hang of it eventually. Fix this IES. It makes you look stupid. Even Hevacomp can manage this.
