.AixLib.ThermalZones.HighOrder.Components.Shadow.ShadowLength

Information

Overview

This model represents the shadow length on a vertical wall caused by a horizontal shield on it.

Concept

• The model calculates the wall solar azimuth and the zenith angles to determine if a shadow is present on the wall surface, then outputs it as a boolean value.
• When the shadow is present, the model calculates the shadow length.

Assumptions

• The wall is vertical (til = 90°), while the shield is horizontal.
