modelWindowEN673

Verifies U value of a glazing record

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This model modifies the default implementation of the window to be more in line with EN673. E.g. the exterior and interior total convective heat transfer coefficients are changed. The resulting U-value is computed as U_EN673 and can be compared to the default implementation U_default. The interior air cavity heat transfer coefficient computations are unchanged, which explains the different results with the standard.

This model can be used to verify that U_EN673 is sufficiently close to the expect U value of the glazing system. When this is not the case, you likely made an implementation error with the coating (= long wave emissivity) implementation. Furthermore, this model can be used to check what the wind speed and temperature-dependent U-value is.
