Dear all,
For the VIPER component of Grasshopper (DIVA), can you have overlapping window components? For instance, a Kalwall window component (full wall) with clear glazing window components planar to that wall?
I have a curtain wall as a construction zone, the Kalwall as a window component planar to the construction zone, and then clear glazing overlapping both the planar Kalwall and construction zone? Will viper take the lowest R-value, combine them, etc?
Thanks in advance,
Reinhardt

Reinhardt,
Both the Kalwall and the clear glazing are considered windows by EnergyPlus, and need to be hosted by another surface that is NOT a window. So you should beak up the Kalwall window into a few pieces that surround the clear glazing.

Jon,
It was a challenge doing it parametrically, but got it. Thanks!
