Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Examples.AltitudeAngle
Test model for altitude angle
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.Examples.Declination
Test model for declination
This model validates the computation of the solar declination, which is the angle between the equatorial plane and the solar beam. The time table solDecNOAA outputs the solar declination according to the computation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), using their yearly calculator from http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html. The values differ slightly because the equation in Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Declination is an approximation.

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Examples.IncidenceAngle
Test model for incidence angle
This example computes the solar incidence angle on a tilted surface. This model is also part of more extensive tests that run the model for different orientations. These tests are at Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.Examples.IncidenceAngle.

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Examples.SolarHourAngle
Test model for solar hour angle
This example computes the solar hour angle, which is defined as the angle between the circle that passes through an observer, the north pole and the south pole, and the circle that passes through the sun, the north and the south pole.
