Information

This model calculates the heat flow by solar gains through each glazed element k. The heat flow is given by

Φ_sol,k =F_sh,k I_sol,k g_fac (1-F_frame) A_win,k

where F_sh,k is the shading reduction factor which is set to 0.9 by deafult, I_sol,k is the solar irradiance per square meter of surface area, g_fac is the total solar energy transmittance of the trasparent element, F_frame is the frame area fraction, and A_win,k is the overall area of the glazed element in square meters. The model neglects the extra heat flow due to thermal radiation to the sky from the building.
