Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Shade

Test model for exterior shade heat transfer

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Shade

Information

This model tests the shading device. Note that the temperature of the shading device changes slightly as the shade control signal changes (i.e., as the shade is lowered). This is because the shade has a different emissive power than the glass, which changes the energy balance.

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.SideFins

Test model for side fins

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.SideFins

Information

This example uses the basic side fins model with solar angles as input and calculates the fraction of total window area that is exposed to the sun. For a detailed description of the solar angles used in the model, see to documentation in the package Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry. For a detail description of side fin model, see Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.SideFins. The required data for the solar angle calculations are obtained from the weather data.

Solar angles used in this model are:

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.ZenithAngle: Angle between sun ray and normal to horizontal surface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.IncidenceAngle: Solar incidence angle on a tilted surface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.AltitudeAngle: Angle between Sun ray and horizontal surface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.WallSolarAzimuth: Angle measured in horizontal plane between projection of sun's rays and normal to vertical surface

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Overhang

Test model for the overhang

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Overhang

Information

This example uses the basic overhang model with solar angles as input and calculates the fraction of total window area that is exposed to the sun. For a detail description of the solar angles used in the model, see Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry. For a detailed description of the overhang block, see Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Overhang. The required data for the solar angle calculations is obtained from weather data.

Solar angles used in this model are:

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.ZenithAngle: Angle between sun ray and normal to horizontal surface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.IncidenceAngle: Solar incidence angle on a tilted surface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.AltitudeAngle: Angle between Sun ray and horizontal surface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.WallSolarAzimuth: Angle measured in horizontal plane between projection of sun's rays and normal to vertical surface

The values of the parameters of the overhang model have been set in such a way that the overhang in non-symmetric with respect to the window center-line.
