Re: [TRNSYS-users] how to get the general U-value?



Hi Pietro,

Sorry I can't help you with that one. But I also noticed some difference between the U value given by WINDOW5 and the one showed by TrnBuilt, especially when you use Krypton between the glasses.
Does anybody have an explanation for that ?

Best regards,

Isabelle

sorry for another question,
I "decoded" the reported data from Window 5 as edited in W4-lib.dat file in order to describe the global value as described at the "END OF THE LIBRARY" in this file (see the example below). I found an exact corresspondence for all the data except for the U-value, whose reported value I suppose to be a mean value of the reported ones in the "Overall and Center of Glass Ig U-values (W/m2-C)" lines. but which ones?
Otherwise I thought it should simply be the global value reported for the glazing system of a given window, but I cannot verify it since a can't resume the Trnsys W4-lib story of course...
can anybody confirm to me that it is correct to assume for U-value what given for the glazing system and not get it from the Window 5 report?
thanks in advance
Pietro
