modelInteriorHeatTransferConvective

Model for heat convection at the interior 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 room-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.

  • 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.
  • July 11, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
