Member Function Documentation

boost::optional<Surface> openstudio::model::Surface::adjacentSurface ( ) const

Returns the adjacent Surface, if it exists.

std::vector<SubSurface> openstudio::model::Surface::applyViewAndDaylightingGlassRatios ( double  viewGlassToWallRatio,
double  daylightingGlassToWallRatio,
double  desiredViewGlassSillHeight,
double  desiredDaylightingGlassHeaderHeight,
double  exteriorShadingProjectionFactor,
double  interiorShelfProjectionFactor,
const boost::optional< ConstructionBase > &  viewGlassConstruction,
const boost::optional< ConstructionBase > &  daylightingGlassConstruction 
)

Applies banded view and daylighting windows to the surface with optional exterior shading and interior light shelf.

Assumes that this surface spans the entire height of the space, this method should not be used if the wall is broken into multiple vertical pieces.

Returns false if the surface is not a wall, if the surface is not rectangular in face coordinates, if requested ratio is too large (window area ~= surface area), or if surface has any doors.

Otherwise, removes all existing windows and adds new windows to meet requested ratio.

viewGlassToWallRatio - the ratio of view glass to wall area, if 0 no view glass will be created daylightingGlassToWallRatio - the ratio of daylighting glass to wall area, if 0 no daylighting glass will be created desiredViewGlassSillHeight - the desired distance from the floor to the bottom of the view glass, this may be reduced if the requested window area is too high desiredDaylightingGlassHeaderHeight - the distance from the ceiling to the top of the daylighting glass, this may be reduced if the requested window area is too high exteriorShadingProjectionFactor - projection factor of exterior shading applied to the view window, if 0 no exterior shading will be created interiorShelfProjectionFactor - projection factor of interior light shelf applied to the daylighting window, if 0 no interior light shelf will be created viewGlassConstruction - optional construction to use for the view glass daylightingGlassConstruction - optional construction to use for the daylighting glass

If successful returns a vector of sub surfaces created, view window will be the first in the vector if viewGlassToWallRatio > 0

Assign default boundary condition.

void openstudio::model::Surface::assignDefaultSunExposure ( )

Assign default sun exposure.

void openstudio::model::Surface::assignDefaultSurfaceType ( )

)

Moves all of the surfaces vertices towards the centroid by inset then intersects each face with the inset polygon.

Faces are in space coordinates, it is expected that not all faces will intersect the surface. Returns all new sub surfaces created, sub surface types are defaulted. Optional construction is applied. Returns false is this surface has any current sub surfaces or if there is an adjacent surface.

bool openstudio::model::Surface::setSunExposure ( std::string  sunExposure)
bool openstudio::model::Surface::setSurfacePropertyOtherSideCoefficients ( SurfacePropertyOtherSideCoefficients otherSideCoefficients)
bool openstudio::model::Surface::setSurfacePropertyOtherSideConditionsModel ( SurfacePropertyOtherSideConditionsModel otherSideModel)
bool openstudio::model::Surface::setSurfaceType ( std::string  surfaceType)
bool openstudio::model::Surface::setViewFactortoGround ( boost::optional< double >  viewFactortoGround)
bool openstudio::model::Surface::setViewFactortoGround ( double  viewFactortoGround)
bool openstudio::model::Surface::setWindExposure ( std::string  windExposure)
boost::optional<SubSurface> openstudio::model::Surface::setWindowToWallRatio ( double  wwr)

Sets the window to wall ratio for this surface using a single banded window.

Uses applyViewAndDaylightingGlassRatios for implementation.

boost::optional<SubSurface> openstudio::model::Surface::setWindowToWallRatio ( double  wwr,
double  desiredHeightOffset,
bool  heightOffsetFromFloor 
)

Same as setWindowToWallRatio but with extra parameters desiredHeightOffset and heightOffsetFromFloor.

If heightOffsetFromFloor is true then desiredHeightOffset is the desired sill height, otherwise it is the offset from the ceiling. Uses applyViewAndDaylightingGlassRatios for implementation.

std::vector<ShadingSurfaceGroup> openstudio::model::Surface::shadingSurfaceGroups ( ) const

Returns any shading surface groups associated with this surface.

double openstudio::model::Surface::skylightToProjectedFloorRatio ( ) const

Get the skylight to projected floor ratio for this surface.

Calculated as sum(surface.skylights.netArea)/project(surface to z=0 plane).grossArea if this surface is a roof, returns 0 if this surface is not a roof.

double openstudio::model::Surface::skylightToRoofRatio ( ) const

Get the skylight to roof ratio for this surface.

Calculated as sum(surface.skylights.netArea)/surface.grossArea if this surface is a roof, returns 0 if this surface is not a roof.

std::vector<Surface> openstudio::model::Surface::splitSurfaceForSubSurfaces ( )

Splits this surface vertically surrounding any sub surfaces.

This surface must be a wall and must not have an adjacent surface. Returns any new surfaces created in this routine. Typically this is called on a surface that has doors but no windows before applying banded windows.

std::vector<SubSurface> openstudio::model::Surface::subSurfaces ( ) const

Returns all child SubSurfaces .

std::string openstudio::model::Surface::sunExposure ( ) const
boost::optional<SurfacePropertyOtherSideCoefficients> openstudio::model::Surface::surfacePropertyOtherSideCoefficients ( ) const

Returns the adjacent SurfaceSurfacePropertyOtherSideCoefficients, if it exists.

boost::optional<SurfacePropertyOtherSideConditionsModel> openstudio::model::Surface::surfacePropertyOtherSideConditionsModel ( ) const

Returns the adjacent SurfacePropertyOtherSideConditionsModel, if it exists.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::Surface::viewFactortoGround ( ) const
std::string openstudio::model::Surface::windExposure ( ) const
double openstudio::model::Surface::windowToWallRatio ( ) const

Get the window to wall ratio for this surface.

Calculated as sum(surface.windows.netArea)/surface.grossArea if this surface is a wall, returns 0 if this surface is not a wall.
