recordGenericWall

Walls generic structure - from outdoor to indoor

Information

Data structure for the characterization of multi-layer walls

Hypothesis and equations

This record describes:

  • n : number of layers of materials,
  • m : vector describing the number of meshes per layer of materials,
  • e : vecteur décrivant l'épaisseur de chaque couche de matériaux,
  • mat : vector describing the thickness of each layer of materials,
  • positionIsolant : vector identifying the location of insulating layers in the wall.

This last vector allows functions to identify the insulating layers and so to parameterize a building according to its average thermal transmission coefficient (Ubat, W/K.m²).
