Dear all,

I'm noticing that the Electrochromic glazing does not seem to work properly. I selected the bleached elec-glazing (from the library), defined the setpoint and schedules but it seems that the properties of the glazing are not changing when they should.

I compared when the element was 'always on' or with several set point requirements (solar and temperature) and the results are almost the same. On the contrary, adopting a SHGC slightly lower has a considerable effect.

I assume that when the ec glazing works properly, the SHGC should drop a lot (when the glazing becomes darker). Am I missing something? I did not find anywhere the glazing properties of the coloured glazing (when the bleached glazing becomes coloured). So, it seems that only the bleached situation is being simulated.

Any ideas?
