energos documentation


PO4

Recommended Posts

In the process of working more and more with BIM in our office I recently discovered energos, which seems to be is generally a fantastic addition to vectorworks. Unfortunately I find the documentation somewhat lacking. I'm right now trying to add my custom window symbols to the system and I have found the necessary documentation here:

http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2018/eng/VW2018_Guide/EnergyAnalysis/Designating_Drawing_Objects_as_Custom_Energos_Systems.htm

 

and especially here:

http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/Energos:_Use_Record_Formats_to_define_energy_analysis_data#Window

 

The problem is there is very little information about what exactly the parameters mean and what their effect is. I have for example no idea what frame length is. Is it enough to simply add window area and u/r-value, or do I need to fill in glacing area, glacing length (?), orientation etc...

 

Thank you and best regards

Yves
