Member Function Documentation

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::exteriorVisibleAbsorbtance ( ) const
Deprecated:
This will be removed after 1.4.0
boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::exteriorVisibleAbsorptance ( ) const

Get the visible absorptance of the exterior side of this construction (dimensionless).

May require simulation ('EnvelopeSummary' table).

Attribute Name: 'exteriorVisibleAbsorptance'

double openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::getNetArea ( ) const

Returns the sum of the surface area of all planar surfaces that use this construction (m^2).

If this construction is used by a Surface that contains one or more SubSurfaces , than the SubSurface areas are subtracted out of the total. If two adjacent surfaces both reference the same construction then only the area of the largest adjacent surface will be counted. If two adjacent surfaces reference different constructions then the net area of each adjacent surface will be included in the net area for their respective constructions.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::heatCapacity ( ) const

Get the heat capacity of this construction (J/m^2*K).

Only works for LayeredConstructions of StandardOpaqueMaterials .

Attribute Name: 'heatCapacity'

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::interiorVisibleAbsorbtance ( ) const
Deprecated:
This will be removed after 1.4.0
boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::interiorVisibleAbsorptance ( ) const

Get the visible absorptance of the interior side of this construction (dimensionless).

May require simulation ('EnvelopeSummary' table).

Attribute Name: 'interiorVisibleAbsorptance'

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::isFenestration ( ) const
bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::isGreenRoof ( ) const

Returns true if the construction has RoofVegetation as the outer layer.

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::isModelPartition ( ) const
bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::isOpaque ( ) const
bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::isSolarDiffusing ( ) const

Returns true if isFenestration and any material layers are solar diffusing.

boost::optional<RenderingColor> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::renderingColor ( ) const

Returns the rendering color.

void openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::resetRenderingColor ( )

Resets the rendering color.

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::setConductance ( double  value)

Set the conductance of this surface in W/m^2*K, if possible.

value should not include any film coefficients.

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::setConductance ( double  value,
double  filmResistance 
)

Set the conductance of this surface in W/m^2*K, if possible.

filmResistance (m^2*K/W) may be used to convert value to a u-factor.

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::setRenderingColor ( const RenderingColor renderingColor)

Sets the rendering color.

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::setUFactor ( double  value)

Set the u-factor of this surface in W/m^2*K, if possible.

value should already include appropriate film coefficients. By default, assumes still air indoors and 15 mph outdoor air speed.

bool openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::setUFactor ( double  value,
double  filmResistance 
)

Set the u-factor of this surface in W/m^2*K, if possible.

filmResistance (m^2*K/W) may be used to convert value to a conductance.

StandardsInformationConstruction openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::standardsInformation ( ) const

Returns this construction's standards information, constructing a new object if necessary.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::thermalConductance ( ) const

Get the thermal conductance of this construction (W/m^2*K).

Does not include film coefficients.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::thermalConductance ( double  filmResistance) const

Get the thermal conductance of this construction (W/m^2*K).

filmResistance is subtracted out of the thermalResistance if necessary.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::uFactor ( ) const

Get the u-factor of this construction (W/m^2*K).

Includes film coefficients.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::uFactor ( double  filmResistance) const

Get the u-factor of this construction (W/m^2*K).

Includes filmResistance.

boost::optional<double> openstudio::model::ConstructionBase::visibleTransmittance ( ) const

Get the visible transmittance of this construction (dimensionless).

May require simulation ('EnvelopeSummary' table).

Attribute Name: 'visibleTransmittance'
