modelWall_ASHRAE140_Controllable
Wall modell for ASHRAE 140 with absorption of solar radiation, modified with controllable sunblind
Information
Overview
Flexible Model for Inside Walls and Outside Walls.
Level of Development
Concept
The Wall model models
- Conduction and convection for a wall (different on the inside surface depending on the surface orientation: vertical wall, floor or ceiling)
- Outside walls may have a window and/ or a door
- Inside walls may have a door
This model uses a HeatStarComb Connector for an easier connection of temperature and radiance inputs.
Assumputions
- Outside walls are represented as complete walls
- Inside walls are modeled as a half of a wall, you need to connect a corresponding second half with the same values
- Door and window got a constant U-value
- No heat storage in doors or window
Have a closer look at the used models to get more information about the assumptions.
