Hello all

I was wondering if it is possible to export a glazing system as a BSDF (xml format) from W7.7. I have seen that a report type is the Energy Plus BSDF IDF file but this type does not work with daylighting software (e.g. ClimateStudio, Honeybee).

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I've been trying by following these instructions but it was not successful.
The BSDFs folder is empty.

Please, any idea about this issue?

Hello People of LBNL, today  I wanted to Export XML Consisting of perforated Screen on glass to lightstanza. I was unable to find the Xml files though as mentioned in the attached link https://windows.lbl.gov/generating-bsdf-xml-files

All I could find in the mentioned folder of LBNL is csv of my glazing system.

Hi,

Do you use WINDOW 7.8?
I was doing test on Double Clear Air and there is a file generated in here:
C:\Users\Public\LBNL\WINDOW7.8\BSDFs\Double Clear Air.xml
I have used these settings:

Also, make sure that calculations for the IGU are finished.

Best,
Simon
