This should be relatively straightforward to implement. There should be a separate class for
EnergyWindowMaterialGlazingSpectral
that is distinct fromEnergyWindowMaterialGlazing
since the two materials have their properties defined in very different ways. I'm saying this because EnergyPlus IDF schema uses the same object for both cases and it makes things more confusing than they have to be.The only challenge with implementing this is that the spectral material should still have properties like
solar_transmittance
so that it can play nicely with the methods on WindowConstruction as well as the methods that translate window constructions to Radiance modifiers.For a first iteration, I think we can just compute a broadband
solar_transmittance
from the spectral data assuming a typical noon time solar spectrum.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
