Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Examples.AltitudeAngle

Information

This example calculates the altitude angle of the sun at a given time. The altitude angle is the angle between the sun ray and the projection of the ray on a horizontal surface.

Components used in this model are:

• Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Declination
• Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.SolarHourAngle
• Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.ZenithAngle
