RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Properties of roof sheets



Just to be clear -- for opaque surfaces you'd use: 
 
Thermal Emittance = Far Infrared Emmittance
Solar Absorptance  = 1 - (Solar Reflectance)
Visible Absorptance = 1 -  (VIS reflectance)

Thanks for the references.  
The source I used was a table published in:  
'Equipment Maintenance Advice: Building Shell' from:  
http://www.wisconsinpublicservice.com/  

which also appears as Fig. 6 in the paper you referred to and  which 
is  particularly helpful:  

http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/bldg/pubs/cr670/index.htm  
Laboratory Testing of the Refectance Properties of Roofing  
Materials  


Just to clear this up ...  
The IDF file requires the following properties:  
Thermal Emittance  
Solar Absorptance  
Visible Absorptance  

The Laboratory Testing paper provides the following  properties:  
Reflectances Solar, UV, VIS, NIR  
Far Infrared Emmittance.  

How do we get from one to the other ?  

Many thanks,
