functionFullMask

Calculation of the sunny area for the full mask (horizontal+vertical)

Information

Calculation of the sunny share of a surface considering shading devices

Hypothesis and equations

Shading devices (near mask) with both overhang and lateral fin (such as egg crate) are considered. See diagram below:

Bibliography

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
