functionglassAbsExteriorIrradiationNoShading

Angular and hemispherical absorptance of each glass pane for exterior irradiation without shading

Extends from Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.Functions.BaseClasses.partialWindowRadiation (Partial function for window radiation property).

Information

This function computes specular and hemispherical absorptance of each glass pane for exterior irradiation without shading. It counts the transmittance and reflectance among different panes. Pane 1 is facing the outside and pane N is facing the room.

Inputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Real[3,N,N,HEM,NSta]traRef (from partialWindowRadiation)Transmittance and reflectance with exterior irradiation and no shading
IntegerN (from partialGlassRadiation)Number of glass layers
IntegerNSta (from partialGlassRadiation)Number of window states for electrochromic windows (set to 1 for regular windows)
IntegerHEM (from partialSingleGlassRadiation)Index of hemispherical integration

Outputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
RealabsAngular and hemispherical absorptance of each glass pane for exterior irradiation without shading. Indices: abs[1 to N : ] -> pane 1 to N; abs[ : 1 to HEM] -> angular (1:HEM-1) and hemispherical (HEM)
