Construction and glazing
The Construction and glazing model option
controls the way Construction templates are loaded on the Construction
model data tab. There are 2 options:
- Pre-design
which allows you to load a limited set of "Early Design" construction templates using the simple Insulation and Thermal mass
slider controls based on 4 x insulation options and 3 x thermal mass options.
- General where construction templates
are loaded by selection from a Construction templates browse list in the usual way. General is the default setting.
Tip: You can read a summary of how Construction templates are set up based on the Region and Energy code on the Legislative Region Templates - Standard Insulation help page.
Multi-state electrochromic control method
There are 2 ways to set up sensors to control the tinting of Multi-state electrochromic systems. These 2 methods are accessed through the options:
- 1-Sensor groups the default option where a single sensor sensing exterior incident solar radiation can be used to control multiple windows. In this case the signal from a single sensor window is used to control all windows with the associated SageGlass® window shading system applied.
- 2-Individual sensors where each window has its own built in sensor and there is no need to define control connections between windows and sensors.
