Window Type Element

For model information, the value of the Name element is composed by the Family Name and the Family Type name. Sample: Fixed: 36" x 72". Unwanted characters are filtered out, since this can cause issues in downstream simulation applications. The following special characters are filtered out: Period("."); Apostrophe("'"); Backslash("\"); Semicolon(";"); DollarSign("$");

If the window type originates from an analytical or schematic type, the value of the Name element is collected from the name for the Analytical Construction.

If the window type originates from an analytical or schematic type, the value of the Description element is collected from the description

for the Analytical Construction.

The center of glass solar heat gain coefficient. Each SolarHeatGainCoeff element can have a solarIncidentAngle attribute indicating the Incident angle of the SHGC value. If there is no SolarIncidentAngle attribute this indicates it's diffuse.

The SHGC value is the fraction of incident irradiance that enters through the glazing and becomes heat gain.

For model information, the value for this element is collected from the type property Solar Heat Gain Coefficient in the group Analysis Properties if available.
