[esp-r] Re: WIS optical database and Frameplus

[Chris Jones]

Jake commented that Frameplus is another resource for glazing 
systems.  Frameplus is similar to the Window5-Therm combination.  Frameplus 
contains Vision for constructing glazing systems and the frame component 
for constructing frame components.  The Frameplus combines the glazing 
system with the applicable frame components to give overall optical and 
thermal properties.  These can be exported to DOE2.  Frameplus is not an 
optical database per se.  Vision contains glass properties that are also in 
Window5.  If you are using Frameplus you can export the Window5 
characteristics file to import into DOE2 or into esp-r.  It would be more 
of a one off transfer, not an extraction of existing optical database 
properties.  At least as far as I have used Frameplus with esp-r.
