.Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Constructions.ConstructionWithWindow

Information

This model is used to compute heat transfer through constructions with windows inside the room model.

The model consists of the following two main submodels:

• The instance opa, which uses the model Buildings.HeatTransfer.Conduction.MultiLayer to compute the heat transfer through the opaque part of the construction. This model uses the record layers to access the material properties of the opaque construction.
• The instance win, which uses the model Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.Window to compute the heat transfer through the glazing system. This model uses the record glaSys to access the material properties of the glazing system.

The parameter A is the area of the opaque construction plus the window. The parameter AWin is the area of the glazing system, including the frame. The area of the opaque construction is assigned internally as AOpa=A-AWin.

Revisions

• April 14, 2020, by Michael Wetter:
  Changed homotopyInitialization to a constant.
  This is for IBPSA, #1341.
• October 29, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
  Added optional capacity at the room-facing surface to reduce the dimension of the nonlinear system of equations, which generally decreases computing time.
  This is for issue 565.
• March 13, 2015, by Michael Wetter:
  Changed model to avoid a translation error in OpenModelica.
• July 25, 2014, by Michael Wetter:
  Propagated parameter homotopyInitialization.
• May 30, 2014, by Michael Wetter:
  Removed undesirable annotation Evaluate=true.
• December 6 2010, by Michael Wetter:
  First implementation.
