[esp-r] Re: Thermochromic glazing

[George Giannakidis]

Dear Achim,

as a first step I would prefer to use existing options. If this is not 
possible I could go into the code - so please suggest approaches.

Any idea why the active material - thermochromic glazing does not work 
(although there is a subroutine for this)?

Thanks,
George
