modelFractionSolarDistrib

Redistribution of short-wave radiation entering a zone on each wall and window - based on absorptance/transmittance coefficients, surfaces and form factors

Extends from RadDistrib (Partial model for the construction of radiative distribution models).

Information

Hypothesis and equations

This model distributes the radiation received in proportion to the computed solar fractions.

Notes: The computation of solar fractions is done via the method described in the BESTEST procedure
