modelExteriorHeatTransfer

Model for heat convection and radiation at the exterior surface of a window that may have a shading device

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialWindowBoundaryCondition.

Information

Model for the convective heat transfer between a window shade, a window surface and the room air. This model is applicable for the outside-facing surface of a window system and can be used with the model Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.Window.

This model adds the convective heat transfer coefficient to its base model.

Revisions

  • March 2, 2015, by Michael Wetter:
    Refactored model to allow a temperature dependent convective heat transfer on the room side. This is for issue 52.
  • February 8 2012, by Michael Wetter:
    Changed model to use new implementation of Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity.OutdoorRadiosity. This change leads to the use of the same equations for the radiative heat transfer between window and ambient as is used for the opaque constructions.
  • October 25 2010, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
