Hey all,
Question for those of you who do in-house daylight analysis about modeling translucent glazing.
We use ClimateStudio for our modeling. It has plenty of material options for clear glazing but nothing for translucent glazing, and we are trying to understand the impacts of a translucent interlayer at some skylights. We can select a clear stand-in option that has similar VLT, SHGC, etc, but we would like to better understand the benefits/drawbacks from a glare perspective, so the translucent piece is critical.
ClimateStudio has the capability to input your own custom radiance materials, but after a decently lengthy dive into modeling custom glazing assemblies, I don't find myself much better informed than when I began, and certainly nowhere close to being able to make my own glazing assembly with any sort of certainty that the results of the model will be accurate.
So the question/request for you all - do you have any recommendations for where to find pre-made translucent radiance materials or a good intro-to-radiance guide?
Happy to chat 'offline' if that's easier (jshiman@wrnsstudio.com)
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy
