functionHorizontalMask

Calculation of the sunny area for an horizontal shading device

Information

Function inspired by calculation of overhang effects described in ISO 13791 standard

Hypothesis and equations

Horizontal shading devices (near mask) are considered. See diagram below:

Bibliography

ISO 13791 standard

Instructions for use

none

Known limits / Use precautions

This function should only be called for an absolute value of Phi strictly lower than 90°, corresponding to the sun that reaches the window plane (abs(azimut-AzimutSoleil) ‹ 90).
