[Radiance-general] Danaplon glazing - Glass or Trans?

[Terrance McMinn]

What would the best way be to model Danaplon translucent material 
(http://www.danpalon.com)

For example the 4mm 
(http://www.danpalon.com/eng/home/portfolio/03/default.asp?ContentID=111):

Walls - *1*

Thermal insulation factor - *5.36* W/m2°C
Moment of Inertia with U Connector - *7.4x10^5 * mm^4 /m
Minimum cold bending radius - *2.9* meter
Panel width - 592mm
Module width (with spacer) - 600mm
Optical properties:


	

Clear

	

Ice

	

Opal

	

Bronze

	

Blue

	

Green

	

Grey

I would assume that the thicker products (more walls) should not be 
modelled as glass but maybe via the optics program, though I have no 
idea how/what to feed that program.

Unfortunately the manufacturer has very little technical information 
available.
