Information

This example uses the basic overhang model with solar angles as input and calculates the fraction of total window area that is exposed to the sun. For a detail description of the solar angles used in the model, see Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry. For a detailed description of the overhang block, see Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Overhang. The required data for the solar angle calculations is obtained from weather data.

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Shade Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Shade

Test model for exterior shade heat transfer

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Examples.Shade

Information

This model tests the shading device. Note that the temperature of the shading device changes slightly as the shade control signal changes (i.e., as the shade is lowered). This is because the shade has a different emissive power than the glass, which changes the energy balance.
