This function computes the angular variation and the hemispherical integration of the transmittance and reflectance for each glass pane. There are two schemes for the calculation. One is for coated glass and the other is for uncoated glass. The function checks the difference between front and back reflectances. If the difference is less than the tolerance (0.005), it uses the formula for uncoated glass. Otherwise, the formula for coated glass will be used.

Compute angular variation and hemispherical integration of the transmittance and reflectance for a uncoated glass pane without shading

Information

This function computes the angular variation and the hemispherical integration of the transmittance and reflectance for one uncoated glass pane. The equations are mainly based on Finlayson et al. (1990) and Fuler et al. (1991) with some modifications.

Implementation

Step 1: Compute the reflectivity at normal incidence

ρ(0) = {β − sqrt[β² − 4(2 − R(0))R(0)]} ⁄ [2(2−R(0))],

(1)

where

β = T(0)² − R(0)² + 2R(0) + 1.

(2)

Step 2: Compute the spectral absorption coefficient α and spectral index of refraction n

α = 4 π κ_λ ⁄ λ = - ln[(R(0) − ρ(0)) ⁄ (ρ(0)T(0))] ⁄ d,	(3)
n = (1 + sqrt(ρ(0)) ⁄ (1 − sqrt(ρ(0))).	(4)

Step 3: For each angle of incidence measured in air φ (0 < φ < 90)

a. Compute the angle of incidence measured in glass φ'
φ' = asin(sinφ ⁄ n).	(5)
b. Compute spectral reflectivities at surface
ρ₁(φ)=[(n cosφ − cosφ') ⁄ (n cosφ + cosφ')] ²,	(6)
ρ₂(φ)=[(n cosφ' − cosφ) ⁄ (n cosφ' + cosφ)] ².	(7)
c. Compute spectral tansmissivities at surface
τ₁(φ)= 1 − ρ₁(φ),	(8)
τ₂(φ)= 1 − ρ₂(φ).	(9)
d. Compute spectral tansmittance of the glass
T₁(φ)= τ₁(φ)² exp(-α d/cosφ') ⁄ (1 − ρ₁(φ)² exp(-2α d/cosφ')),	(10)
T₂(φ)= τ₂(φ)² exp(-α d/cosφ') ⁄ (1 − ρ₂(φ)² exp(-2α d/cosφ')),	(11)
T(φ)= (T₁(φ) + T₂(φ)) / 2.	(12)
e. Compute spectral reflectance of the glass
R₁(φ)= ρ₁(φ)(1+ T₁(φ)exp(-α d/cosφ')),	(13)
R₂(φ)= ρ₂(φ)(1+ T₂(φ)exp(-α d/cosφ')),	(14)
R(φ)= (R₁(φ) + R₂(φ)) / 2.	(15)

Step 4: T(90)=0, R(90)=1. (16)

Limitations

WINDOW program calculates the angular property for each wave length based on the spectral data. It uses different R_λ(0) and T_λ(0) for each wave length. Then it integrates the properties over the wave length to get averaged property of R(0) and T(0).

The current window model in the Buildings library uses averaged R(0) and T(0) directly. It can generate the same results as WINDOW for a single pane window and multi-pane window with the same glass. However, the results may be slightly different for multi-pane window with different glasses. The reason is that different glasses may have different angular properties for the same wave length. To precisely calculate the angular properties of the entire window system, one has to calculate the property for each wave length and integrate them as WINDOW does. For more details, see the paper of Nouidui et al. (2012).
