functionglassProperty

Compute angular variation and hemispherical integration of the transmittance and reflectance for each glass pane without shading

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

Information

This function computes the angular variation and the hemispherical integration of the transmittance and reflectance for each glass pane. There are two schemes for the calculation. One is for coated glass and the other is for uncoated glass. The function checks the difference between front and back reflectances. If the difference is less than the tolerance (0.005), it uses the formula for uncoated glass. Otherwise, the formula for coated glass will be used.
