modelIllumination

Determining the activation and deactivation times of the illumination

Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Icons.Block (Basic graphical layout of input/output block).

Information

This model calculates the activation and deactivation times of the illumination and gives it back as the Boolean "Illumination". It is based on VDI 6007 part 3.
The total solar energy entering the room, which can be calculated by Window or ShadedWindow, is compared to a limit value based on the parameters.
