[TRNSYS-users] ventilated facade and illuminance
Title: Messaggio
Hi to
all,
I am seeking a type
(or a "trick" for..) for simulating a ventilated facade. I actually already
asked it to Michael during Trnsys Days in Liege but I would just to know if
anybody has had previous experience with it. A ventilated facade is very simlar
to a trombe wall ( in trnsys types it is the Thermal Storag Wall) but it
has ceramic, or similar, outer panels instead of glazings and between them there
may have a small gaps.
I figured out the
following:
1) I may design the
ventilated facade myself creating this double skin and considering the air gap
as a room and eventually using Trnflow to simulate the flow air along it.
Important detail: I dont have Trnflow...but if it worked...
2) I may use the
type Thermal Storage Wall setting 0 transmittance for the glazings and use
its uotput as input to the Type 56. I made the deck file for it but my
questions are:
- what il the max
height allowed?
- how changing
material properties of the glazings (to simulate ceramics) apart from
transmittance?...
- Does this
type calculate the air flow with a similar/same algorithm as Trnflow would
use?(see 1) )
3) does any type
exist for calculating/analizing luminace and lights as Radiance (or similar
software) may do?
Any suggestion is
well accepted!
thanks in
advance...
special greetings to
my course-mate of the Trnsys Days!
