A Pane group is a list of panes used to model variable glazing pane layer performance characteristics. Pane groups are used to model Thermochromic glazing whose transmission properties depend on the temperature of the glass.
To define a pane group, first set the Number of bands to be used to define varying performance. Each band has a Temperature below which the simulated pane layer should use the properties of the corresponding pane.
The pane associated with a particular band becomes active when the temperature of the thermochromic layer rises above the band midpoint temperature. In the example below the performance of the thermochromic glazing is defined using 5 bands. Each band defines the transmission characteristics of a pane layer for a particular temperature range. When the temperature is at or below the first band mid-point (24 + 34) / 2 = 29°C, the pane LBNL Thermochromic1_24... is used to define the glazing layer characteristics. For temperatures between the first band mid-point and the second band mid-point (29°C to 41°C) the pane LBNL Thermochromic1_34... is used etc.
You can use the Flip layer checkboxes to reverse the direction of the associated glazing layer so that the inside face becomes the outside face and vice-versa.
