GLAZING
- I have unintended or phantom windows in the Universal Certificate. What am I overlooking?
- The custom windows that are available are limited. Why can't we choose all windows?
- Why are U-Values and SGHC for skylights modelled in BERS Pro appearing as 0 in the NatHERS Certificate from the H-Star portal?
- What accounts for the differences between BERS and WERS U-Values and SHGC?
- Why do the Opening % settings reset to 0% in the Default setting when I restart BERS?
- Simulation now defaults with insect screens. What if client does not want insect screens?
- If an adjacent house walls shade a window, does BERS work out the shading itself from the outline of zones or do I need to enter vertical fin shades for each relevant window as well?
- How do we model fixed glazed windows on an internal wall?
- How would I model an openable window in an internal wall?
- How do we allow for a partly glazed external door or sidelight?
- How do I model the highlight windows and wall on the upper skillion roof? I can’t create a wall to put the window in?
- I want to use a specific window that is listed in the WERS database?
- How do I model glass blocks?
- How can I model full-length external glazed wall with varying components e.g. fixed glass, sash windows, glazed doors?
- How do I input a verandah clad with clear laserlite over the windows?
- When nominating head height on a window, is this so BERS can model airflow?
- Do we need to provide an offset for each window, unless it is directly under the eave?
- Why can’t I see windows on the plan screen but they are appearing on the report?
- Is there any reason why a wall will not allow a window to be placed on it? The wall view it shows that there is space for these windows.
- Can I change the glass type of a skylight?
- Can I use BERS to model different window furnishings, such as drapes to “get an idea”?
- Please explain the opening area differences between BERS and AccuRate for single clear glazing, aluminum frame, awning window.
- How do I model obscure (e.g. frosted) glass? How about opaque glass?
- I want to try out windows - say a standard frame like the first default window, but with arbitrary R-values or U-values for the glass. How can I do this?
- My client has specified a commercial window section/system. How do I handle this in BERS?
