Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffuseIsotropic Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffuseIsotropic

Diffuse solar irradiation on a tilted surface with an isotropic sky model

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffuseIsotropic

Information

This component computes the hemispherical diffuse irradiation on a tilted surface using an isotropic model. The irradiation is a sum composed of diffuse solar irradiation and radiation reflected by the ground. For a definition of the parameters, see the User's Guide.
