Dear Pauline,
the U-Values you get out of the program Window are depending to the standard you use in window. The standards are typically assuming a fix temperature range in order to determine the static U-Value. If you are using TRNSYS to calculate the U-Value then this is considering that e.g. the temperature of the outside is changing and so you get different U-Values depending to the time.

Sorry to insist but I am really blocked by these questions of data. I am not at all sure of the TRNSYS simulations. Are there no one else who has met these misunderstandings?

Hi,
Then I used a glass that I had created from WINDOW6 software, it turned out that the Uwin value, given output by TRNBUILD and used in the simulations, did not correspond to what I expected, result due to the Ug value from database and percentage frame and Uframe filled in TRNBUILD. After many tests, it appears that the calculated Uwin TRNBUILD differs if I take a glazing created in WINDOW6, for which I have not information of spacer and, or a glazing initially given in the TRNBUILD database. While Uframe percentage and spacer values indicated in my database windows are the same.
Does anyone know where does this difference come from? What values of Uframe, and percentage frame and spacer, does TRNBUILD consider : those entries in the database glazings or those filled in the database window that is created for each project?
This misunderstanding about the values considered by TRNBUILD is not at all reassuring. Especially when I tested a window created with WINDOW6 and one from the initial TRNBUILD database with 100% glass (so without frame). And in the first case I found a Uwin value equal to 0.3 instead of Ug equal to 1.07. And in the second case I found a Uwin value of 1.22 for the same value of Ug equal to 1.07.
Thanks a lot in advance for all your answers.
Best regards,

Dear Pauline,
I had a quick look at your questions.
Concerning the definition of a window, we would like to know if Ug presented in the library already includes convective heat transfer coefficients (if so what value?) and the standard to which it is calculated ?
è
The Ug values presented in the German library related to products are the values you can find in the catalog.
Best,
Marion
