[esp-r] Re: Res "enquire about" energy balances and CFC

[Lomanowski, Bartosz]

Hi Achim,
 
The following CFC outputs have been configured with res as of ESP-r 11.8:
 
- inside face convection 
- inside longwave radiation 
- outside face convection
- outside face longwave radiation
- solar transmission
- solar absorption (careful with this one - it does not include all the transparent nodes, only the inside or 'other face' node)
 
The calculation of these fluxes is sensitive to the presence of a shade layer and the control state of that blind layer (retracted or deployed). You can find the CFC modifications to the standard energy balance in subroutine SURBAL (esrubld/blibsv.F).
 
I don't have much experience with the "enquire about" options, but the detailed res output (temperatures, surface/ zone fluxes, heating/cooling, total solar entering from outside, etc.) does take into account CFCs. I imagine that the aggregated output functions rely on these as well. 
 
Regards,
Bart
