Member Function Documentation

void openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::ensureUniqueLayers ( )

Ensures that all materials in this construction are used by this construction only.

Allows standards to then appply standards specified material properties to each layer (e.g. SRI).

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::equalLayers ( const LayeredConstruction other) const

Returns true if this construction has the same layers as other one.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::eraseLayer ( unsigned  layerIndex)

Erases the Material at layerIndex, if possible.

Must have 0 <= layerIndex < numLayers, and resulting construction must satisfy layersAreValid.

Material openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::getLayer ( unsigned  layerIndex) const

Get the Material at layerIndex, where layerIndex is between 0 and numLayers() - 1.

Throws a openstudio::Exception if layerIndex >= numLayers.

std::vector<unsigned> openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::getLayerIndices ( const Material material) const

Returns the indices from which this construction points to material.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::insertLayer ( unsigned  layerIndex,
const Material material 
)

Insert opaqueMaterial at layerIndex, if possible.

Must have 0 <= layerIndex <= numLayers, and this construction must have no layers or satisfy isOpaque == true. Furthermore, the resulting construction must satisfy layersAreValid.

boost::optional<OpaqueMaterial> openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::insulation ( ) const

Returns the layer designated as insulation, if such a designation has been made.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::isSymmetric ( ) const

Returns true if this is a symmetric layered construction.

std::vector<Material> openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::layers ( ) const

Returns the material layers that make up this construction.

Listed in order from outside in, that is, the Material at index 0 faces out from the point of view of the Zone, should this LayeredConstruction be associated with a PlanarSurface.

static bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::layersAreValid ( const std::vector< Material > &  materials)
static

Returns true if materials defines a valid EnergyPlus construction.

Returns false if layers are empty. Checks the following rules if first layer is an OpaqueMaterial:

Checks the following rules if first layer is a FenestrationMaterial:

Checks the following rules if first layer is a ModelPartitionMaterial:

  • Layer size is 1
Todo:
Verify that this is a comprehensive and accurate list.
static bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::layersAreValid ( const std::vector< OpaqueMaterial > &  opaqueMaterials)
static
static bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::layersAreValid ( const std::vector< FenestrationMaterial > &  fenestrationMaterials)
static
std::vector<unsigned> openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::nullLayers ( ) const

Returns layer indices that do not actually point to a Material.

Before simulation, the returned vector should be empty.

unsigned openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::numLayers ( ) const

Returns the number of non-null layers in this construction.

void openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::resetInsulation ( )

Removes any existing insulation layer designations.

Does not touch the actual composition of the construction.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::reverseEqualLayers ( const LayeredConstruction other) const

Returns true if this construction has the same layers but in reverse order as other one.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::setInsulation ( const OpaqueMaterial insulationLayer)

Notes that insulationLayer is the perturbable insulation layer.

Only works if insulationLayer is already in this construction.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::setLayer ( unsigned  layerIndex,
const Material material 
)

Set the layer at layerIndex to opaqueMaterial, if possible.

Must have 0 <= layerIndex < numLayers, and this construction must satisfy isOpaque == true. Furthermore, the resulting construction must satisfy layersAreValid.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::setLayer ( const ModelPartitionMaterial modelPartitionMaterial)

Sets the construction to use modelPartitionMaterial.

Clears out all previous Material layers.

bool openstudio::model::LayeredConstruction::setLayers ( const std::vector< Material > &  materials)

Set the construction to use opaqueMaterials as its layers, if layersAreValid(opaqueMaterials).

Clears out all previous Material layers.
