Information

This model computes the radiant, convective sensible and latent heat flow rate. Input into this model are these three components in units of [W/m2]. The inputs need to be positive quantities if heat or moisture is added to the room. The outputs are

• the radiant heat flow in Watts,
• the convective heat flow in Watts, and
• the water vapor released into the air.
