AdiabaticWall

Wall without heat flow through its outer surface

FastSmoothBuildings.Envelope.AdiabaticWall, model (source)

Extends PartialOpaque.

Purpose

A construction of a zone without heat flow through its outer surface (Q_a = 0): the conduction of PartialOpaque stores heat and exchanges it with the room only. All the layer boundaries T[1] to T[nLay + 1] are states.

Equations

Room surface: Q_b = Qrad − Qint, with Qrad the radiation the zone gives to the surface and Qint the convection to the room air (interiorConvection). On the bus: the room face at T[nLay + 1], emissivity absIR_b, solar absorptance absSol_b, no transmission.

Use

The ceilings of Examples.TwoZones.
