Settings to calculate SHGC

[Ale]

Hi everybody,

I have versions 7.8 both for Therm and Window.

Up to now noone asked me to calculate the SHGC for Curtain Wall, now it's my time so I just have some questions:

- to calculate the SHGC for each frame elements should I have to choose the "use SHGC values" in the "default boundary conditions", when importing the glazing from window?

- Do I have to create new, external and internal, boundary conditions in Therm?

Thank you!

Regards,

Alessia

The THERM / WINDOW NFRC Simulation manual has a section on modeling curtain walls which you might want to look at

See section 8.9 starting on page 8-90.
