This is a new envelope Measure for commercial buildings. This measure covers the installation of secondary windows in building weatherization applications for commercial buildings, aiming to reduce thermal conductance and solar heat gain coefficient. Secondary windows are window attachments fitted to the interior or exterior of an existing primary window for quick installation, improving the insulating characteristics of the window assembly. This measure is only applicable to windows that serve as a barrier between conditioned spaces and outside air. Energy is saved by reducing cooling and heating loads due to reduced energy loss between the building's interior and exterior.

There is no code requirement for Secondary Windows. So, single-pane windows were used as the baseline. The simulation was complete for all commercial buildings except for unconditioned storage and refrigerated warehouse buildings.

Pull Request (PR) Description

NOTE: SUBMIT A PLAN TO DEER SUPPORT PRIOR TO WORKING ON CODE FOR A MEASURE, FEATURE, OR BUG TO BE CONNECTED WITH OTHERS WORKING ON THE SAME ISSUE OR TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON YOUR PROPOSED METHOD

PR Author

• Make sure the PR branch is up to date with main branch at the time of the PR submission
• Craft a succinct title that effectively encapsulates the essence of the pull request, providing a general overview of the proposed changes.
• Label the PR with at least one of the following: New Measure, Bug, or Feature.
• Provide a concise description of the measure, bug, or feature. Submit one PR per measure.
• For a new measure, attach a workbook named DEER_EnergyPlus_Modelkit_Measure_list_working.xlsx, containing only rows used for post-processing the measure.
• Add comments in the code when necessary to facilitate the review process.
• Add a comment before the added code, including the author's full name, company, and specifying if it's a bug fix, new measure, or feature.
• For a new feature or bug, demonstrate the impact on energy consumption for selected cases with justification using plots and descriptions.
• For a new measure, add a summary table showing total energy consumption per simulated case.

PR Reviewer

• Conduct a thorough code review.
• If the branch is behind the main, merge the branch locally to check for potential conflicts.
• If a bug, locally reproduce it and compare energy consumptions before and after.
• Explore creative ways to stress-test the code.
• Locally check the error file and other outputs.
