Enumeration defining the surface roughness

Information

This enumeration is used to define the surface roughness which may be used to compute the convective heat transfer coefficients of building construction.

The surface roughness will be used to compute the wind-driven convective heat transfer coefficient in Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Exterior. The possible surface roughness are
