Information

This model adds another element for the roof. Roofs commonly exhibit the same excitations as exterior walls but have different coefficients of heat transfer due to their orientation. Adding an extra element for the roof might lead to a finer resolution of the dynamic behaviour but increases calculation times. The roof is parameterized via the length of the RC-chain nRoof, the vector of capacities CRoof[nRoof], the vector of resistances RRoof[nRoof] and remaining resistances RRoofRem.

The image below shows the RC-network of this model.
