Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity

Package with models for radiosity transfer

Information

This package provides component models for the infrared radiative heat exchange of window assemblies. The models are according to TARCOG 2006, except for the outdoor radiosity, which is computed by Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity.OutdoorRadiosity. The outdoor radiosity is different from the TARCOG implementation so that the same equations are used for windows as are used for opaque walls in the room heat transfer model of the package Buildings.Rooms.

By definition, incoming and outcoming radiosity are both positive. This is required to connect incoming and outcoming radiosity connectors.
