The property "eps" (long wave emissivity), the geometry (i.e. the layer dimensions) and the thermal properties (thermal capacity and thermal conductivity) are taken from the materials database entry.<br><blockquote type="cite"><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div dir="ltr"><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; "><span lang="EN-US">2. For the RES file, “solar entering the zone” is the summation of transmissivity (the parameter<span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>in optical database) multiplies the global irradiance for each glazing surface. What is “solar absorbed in zone” ? I checked that it is not the summation of absorptivity (the parameter in optical database) multiplies the global irraiance for each glazing. It also can be noticed that “ solar absorbed in zone” is less than “solar entering the zone” in all the test I did.</span></div></div></div></blockquote>"solar absorbed" is that part of entering solar radiation that is not re-reflected directly back out of the zone.<br><blockquote type="cite"><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div dir="ltr"><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; "><span lang="EN-US">3. When I try to get the solar energy that passes through the glazing and then absorbed by the floor , I extracted the information from ” SW radiation(inside)” , it seems that this parameter is very large and obviously not equal to the absorptivity of the floor multiplies the global irradiance to the floor(how to get this parameter ?). And for the glazing "SW radiation(inside)" divided by the irradiance is not the absorptivity I gave .What is “SW radiation(inside)” means exactly?</span></div></div></div></blockquote>Are you writing out the values "per m2"? SW (short wave) radiation inside should be closely correlated to radiation hitting the given surface and transmission of the transparent material (not absorption).<br><blockquote type="cite"><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; "><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; "><span lang="EN-US">Regards,</span></div><br><br><br><div><i>Suo Hua</i></div><div><i> </i></div><div><i>Ph.D Student in Tecnologia e Progetto per l'Ambiente Costruito/Technology and Design for Environment and Building</i></div><div><i> </i></div><div><i>Il Dipartimento B.E.S.T.Dipartimento di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Ambiente Costruito/ The Department of Building Environment Science & Technology</i></div><div><i> </i></div><div><i>Politecnico Di Milano</i></div><br><div><a href="mailto:Email%3Ahua.suo@mail.polimi.it"><i>Email:hua.suo@mail.polimi.it</i></a></div><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br></div>_______________________________________________<br>esp-r mailing list<br><a href="mailto:esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk</a><br><a href="http://lists.strath.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/esp-r">http://lists.strath.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/esp-r</a></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><a href="mailto:achim.geissler@intergga.ch">achim.geissler@intergga.ch</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div> <br></div></body></html>
