Dear Yi,
a normal window (in the facade) has a slope of 90 degrees. That means it`s vertical. The slope is the inclination. In some projects the slope of windows is varied in order to e.g. avoid some solar gains.
I hope, this helps you.
Best regards
Margarethe

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] in TRNBuild, what does the "slope of window" in window type manager mean?
hello trnsys-users,
i can not undetstand, why there is a slope difinition in the window type. slope means something about orientation. but the orientation is already descript in zone definition, isn't it? or it means each different slope should be a window type, even if everything else are same?
and I built a simple modell in sketchup with trnsys3d. when i look deeper, in the idf and b17 file, every window type has the same slope 90.
i'm a little confused.
regards
Yi
