Installation Notes

There are two different installations:

  • Records for Version 23 only:
    • There is one installation with databases only containing new and updated records for V 23
    • That installation will install three databases (into C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared​), one for each version of WINDOW, ie, WINDOW 7.4, 7.7. and 7.8, named as follows
      • W7_4_14-CGDB-23-0-Only.mdb
      • W7_7_10-CGDB-23-0-Only.mdb
      • W7_8_28-CGDB-23-0-Only.mdb
    • It will overwrite the existing XML folder (in C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared​), with just the XML files for the new V 21 records
      • Make a copy of the existing XML folder before installing this update if you want to save the files in the existing XML folder
  • Records from all versions including Version 23:
    There is a separate installation file for each version of WINDOW, ie, WINDOW 7.4, 7.7, and 7.8. 
    Also included in the download links below is a link to a zip file with a default WINDOW database that has the latest IGDB (v 83) records in the Glass Library as well as the CGDB 23 records in the Shade Materials and Shading Layer Library, and all the default records for the other WINDOW Libraries. 
     
    • WINDOW 7.4.14:
      • CGDBsetup-23-0-Complete_74.exe
        • This installs W7_4_14-CGDB-23-0-AllRecords.mdb into C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared​
        • The XML folder in C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared will be overwritten with the complete set of XML files for all the versions
      •  W7_4_14_DB_UpdatedCGDB23.zip
        • The default WINDOW database with Glass Library updated to IGDB 83 and Shade Material and Shading Layer Libraries updated to CGDB 23
        • This is included because there are bugs in WINDOW 7.4.14 which might make it difficult to update the default W7.mdb file to the latest CGDB 23. Having this additional file may help (although it may not)
           
    • WINDOW 7.7.10:
      NOTE: WINDOW 7.7.16 fixes bugs in 7.7.10 to do with importing records into the Shading Layer Library and the Shade Materials Library. You may want to update your WINDOW version to 7.7.16 if you are encountering those problems.
      • CGDBsetup-23-0-Complete_77.exe
        • This installs W7_4_14-CGDB-23-0-AllRecords.mdb into C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared​
        • The XML folder in C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared will be overwritten with the complete set of XML files for all the versions
      • W7_7_DB_UpdatedCGDB23.zip
        • The default WINDOW database with Glass Library updated to IGDB 83 and Shade Material and Shading Layer Libraries updated to CGDB 23
        • This is included because there are bugs in WINDOW 7.4.14 which might make it difficult to update the default W7.mdb file to the latest CGDB 23. Having this additional file may help (although it may not)
           
    • WINDOW 7.8.28:
      • CGDBsetup-23-0-Complete_78.exe
        • This installs W7_8_28-CGDB-23-0-AllRecords.mdb into C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared​
        • The XML folder in C:\Users\Public\LBNL\LBNL Shared will be overwritten with the complete set of XML files for all the versions
      • There should not be any issues with updating the Shade Materials and Shading Layer Library in WINDOW 7.8.28, so an updated default WINDOW database is not included for that version of WINDOW

Shade Materials

Shade Materials Release Notes (PDF)

A bug was fixed in the data so that now, in WINDOW, when a Shade Material that has a # is used to define a Shading Layer, the program will keep the "#" in the Shading Layer definition as well as the Glazing System, which is needed for NFRC certification.

All Shade Material records should be updated. This can be done by either

  • Deleting all the records in the Shade Material Library and import all the records from the CGDB v 19.0 database. This might be the best path for WINDOW 7.7.10
  • Import all the records from the CGDB v 19.0 database, and overwrite the existing records.
