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'

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'
