Simplify windows

Simplify and reduce the number of windows and/or skylights while maintaining the overall exterior window/skylight area. Useful for improving simulation speed without significantly changing energy use results.

Options

  • Merge Distance

    The maximum distance between windows at which point they will be merged together into a single simpler window

  • Single Window

    Select to have the windows simplified to a single window within the center of each wall, which matches the overall area of the original windows

  • Delete Interior

    Select to have the interior windows and doors removed from the rooms, which often have a negligible impact on overall building energy use

  • Ignore Skylights

    Select to have the windows left exactly as they are during the process of simplifying skylights

  • Ignore Windows

    A boolean to note if the windows should be ignored during the process of simplifying the windows

Details

Note that this command is not intended to fix invalid or un-simulate-able windows and the "Repair windows" command should be used for these purposes.
