Import WINDOW Glz System

Use this component to import the content of a LBNL WINDOW text file report as a series of polygons and boundary conditions that can be plugged into the "Write THERM File' component.

Inputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
Window Glz Sys Report	_windowGlzSysReport	A filepath to a detailed galzing system text file report exportedby WINDOW.	Goo
Location	_location_	An optional plane or point to set the location of the glazing system in the Rhino scene. The default is set to the Rhino origin and in the XY plane.	Goo
Orientation	_orientation_	An integer that sets the orientation of the window in the Rhino scene. Choose from the following options that correspond with THERM's options: 0 = Up 1 = Down 2 = Left 3 = Right	Goo
Sight Line To Glz Bottom	_sightLineToGlzBottom_	A number in Rhino model units that represents the distance from the bottom of the glass pane to the end of the frame (where the 'edge of glass' starts). The default is set to 12.7 mm.	Goo
Spacer Height	_spacerHeight_	A number in Rhino model units that represents the distance from the bottom of the glass pane to the end of the spacer. The default is set to 12.7 mm.	Goo
Edge Of Glass Dim	_edgeOfGlassDim_	A number in Rhino model units that represents the distance from the start of the frame to the start of the 'center of glass' zone. This 'edge of glass' zone typically has a U-Value that is higher than the rest of the glass. The default is set to 63.5 mm.	Goo
Glz System Height	_glzSystemHeight_	A number in Rhino model units that represents the height to make the glazing system in the Rhino scene. The default is set to 150 mm.	Goo
Spacer Material	spacerMaterial_	An optional material that will be used to create a spacer for the glazing system. If no material is input here, no psacer will be created.	Goo

Outputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
Out	readMe!	...	String
Therm Polygons	thermPolygons	The therm polygons for the glazing system.	Goo
Indoor BCs	indoorBCs	The thermBCs that represent the interior side of the glazing system, including separate boundary conditions for the edge of frame and center of glass. Note that a boundary condition for with the 'Frame' UFactorTag must be made separately.	Goo
Outdoor BC	outdoorBC	A single thermBC that represents the exterior side of the glazing system. This includes the exterior conditions taken from the report.	Goo
Indoor Properties	indoorProperties	A list of properties for the interior boundary condition in the following order: Name, temperature, film coefficient. These can be used to create a boundary condition for the 'Frame.'	Goo
Outdoor Properties	outdoorProperties	A list of properties for the exterior boundary condition in the following order: Name, temperature, film coefficient. These can be used to create a boundary condition that includes the frame of the window.	Goo
Cog UValue	cogUValue	A value representing the "center of glass" U-value for the imported WINDOW glazing construction in SI units (W/m2-K). This output can be used in conjunction with the "Honeybee_Assembly Uvalue" component to calculate the full U-value of a window assembly.	Goo
SHGC	SHGC	The solar heat gain coefficient of the WINDOW glazing construction.	Goo
VT	VT	The visible transmittance of the WINDOW glazing construction.	Goo
