Solar incident irradiance and illuminance on a surface considering solar mask
Diagram of FLUXsurfMask

Information

Calculation of solar boundary conditions for the (Lf x Hf)-sized surface considering near and distant mask

Hypothesis and equations

This model relies on the Masks model to estimate effects of near and distant solar masks.

Following masks are considered:
  • Shading devices (near mask)
    • Horizontal overhang such as awning
    • Lateral fin
    • Both overhang and lateral fin (such as egg crate)
  • Vertical distant masks (such as building)

Instructions for use

none

Known limits / Use precautions

These models are valid only for vertical walls.

The accumulation of several masks of near types for a same wall is prohibited
