Information

Hypothesis and equations

This function calculates the absorption and transmission coefficients of a double glazing window, for direct and diffuse solar fluxes, from manufacturer data :

• Uw : Heat transfert coefficient of the window [W/m².K]
• g : Solar factor of the glazing [between 0 and 1]
• tau0 : Coefficient of energy transmission of the glazing [between 0 and 1]

Bibliography

Revisions

Benoît Charrier 08/2017 : correction of errors in documentation and parameter naming, manufacturer data needed are the coefficient of energy transmission of the glazing (tau0) and the solar factor of the glazing (g).
