Information

Overview

Flexible Model for Inside Walls and Outside Walls.

Level of Development

Concept

The Wall model models

• Conduction and convection for a wall (different on the inside surface depending on the surface orientation: vertical wall, floor or ceiling)
• Outside walls may have a window and/ or a door
• Inside walls may have a door

This model uses a HeatStarComb Connector for an easier connection of temperature and radiance inputs.

Assumputions

• Outside walls are represented as complete walls
• Inside walls are modeled as a half of a wall, you need to connect a corresponding second half with the same values
• Door and window got a constant U-value
• No heat storage in doors or window

Have a closer look at the used models to get more information about the assumptions.
