functiongetGlassTR

Transmittance and reflectance of glass

Extends from Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.Functions.BaseClasses.partialGlassRadiation (Partial function for glass radiation property).

Information

This function computes the angular variation of the transmittance and reflectance of each glass pane. It accounts for the transmittance and reflectance among different panes. Pane 1 is facing outside and pane N is facing the room. For instance, traRef[TRA, 1, N, iD] means transmittance between layer 1 to N for exterior irradiation and traRef[TRA, N, 1, iD] means the transmittance for interior irradiation.

Inputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
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
Real[3,N,HEM,NSta]layerProperty of glass pane

Outputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Real[3,N,N,HEM,NSta]traRefGlass transmittance, front and back reflectance
