Calculate black body sky temperature

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SkyTemperature.BlackBody

Information


This component computes the black-body sky temperature.

For calTSky = 0, the model uses horizontal infrared irradiation. Otherwise, it uses dry buld temperature, dew point temperature and opaque sky cover.

Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.BlockIcon (Basic graphical layout of input/output block).

Parameters
