Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DirectTiltedSurface DirectTiltedSurface Test model for direct solar irradiation on a tilted surface

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

Test model for diffuse solar irradiation on a tilted surface using the isotropic model

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DiffuseIsotropic

Information

This example computes the hemispherical diffuse irradiation on a roof, wall and a floor, using an isotropic sky model. Since the floor only sees the ground, it receives the lowest amount of diffuse solar irradiation.

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DiffusePerez Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DiffusePerez

Test model for diffuse solar irradiation on a tilted surface using the Perez model

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DiffusePerez

Information

This model tests the implementation of Perez' model for diffuse solar radiation. The three instances of Perez' model compute the diffuse solar irradiation on a roof, a wall and a floor. Since the floor only sees the ground but not the radiative heat flow that is scattered in the atmosphere, it receives the lowest amount of diffuse solar irradiation.

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DirectTiltedSurface Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DirectTiltedSurface

Test model for direct solar irradiation on a tilted surface

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.Examples.DirectTiltedSurface

Information

This model tests the direct solar irradiation received on a ceiling, a wall and a floor. The assert statement will stop the simulation if the floor receives any direct solar irradiation.
