Extends from Modelica.Icons.BasesPackage (Icon for packages containing base classes).

Package Content

Name Description
Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.BaseClasses.PartialConstruction PartialConstruction Partial model for exterior construction that has no window

Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.BaseClasses.PartialConstruction Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.BaseClasses.PartialConstruction

Partial model for exterior construction that has no window

Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.BaseClasses.PartialConstruction

Information

This is the base class that is used to model opaque constructions in the room model.

The surface azimuth is defined in Buildings.Types.Azimuth and the surface tilt is defined in Buildings.Types.Tilt

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
