modelCorG_ASHRAE140

Correction of the solar gain factor according to ASHRAE 140

Extends from PartialCorG (partial model for correction of the solar gain factor).

Information

Overview

This model computes the transmission correction factors for solar radiation through a double pane window depoending on the incidence angle, based on the ASHRAE140-2017.

Known Limitations

The model is directly paramtrized for a double pane window.
