modelWall_ASHRAE140

Wall modell for ASHRAE 140 with absorbtion of solar radiation

Extends from AixLib.Obsolete.BaseClasses.ObsoleteModel.

Information

Overview

Flexible Model for Inside Walls and Outside Walls.

Concept

The Wall model models

  • Conduction and convection for a wall (different on the inside surface depending on the surface orientation: vertical wall, floor or ceiling)
  • Outside walls may have a window and/ or a door
  • Inside walls may have a door

This model uses a HeatStarComb Connector for an easier connection of temperature and radiance inputs.

Assumputions

  • Outside walls are represented as complete walls
  • Inside walls are modeled as a half of a wall, you need to connect a corresponding second half with the same values
  • Door and window got a constant U-value
  • No heat storage in doors or window

Have a closer look at the used models to get more information about the assumptions.
