Hypothesis and equations
Simplified model calculating the mean temperature of the walls, for the connexion to the heat port of the heating floor and the distribution of the radiative fluxes.
Radiative temperature from RadiationTemperature
model (Buildings) :
This model computes the radiative temperature in the room. For a room with windows but no shade, the radiative temperature is computed as :
Trad = ∑i (Ai εi Ti) ⁄ ∑i (Ai εi)
where Trad is the radiative temperature of the room, Ai are the surface areas of the room, εi are the infrared emissivities of the surfaces, and Ti are the surface temperatures.
Radiative fluxes distribution from InfraredRadiationGainDistribution
model (Buildings) :
This model computes the distribution of the infrared radiant heat gain to the room surfaces. The infrared radiant heat gain Q is an input to this model. It is distributed to the individual surfaces according to :
Qi = Q Ai εi ⁄ ∑k Ak εk.
For opaque surfaces, the heat flow rate Qi is set to be equal to the heat flow rate at the heat port. For the glass of the windows, the heat flow rate Qi is set to the radiosity
