RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Infrared Transparent Materials

Yes, they are intended for “connecting” interior zones where there actually is not really a surface separating the zones.  Open plan spaces are one application; another is stacking zones within a space in the vertical direction.  They do not transmit daylight.  I don’t believe they are intended for surfaces exposed to the outdoors.

Hi Harris,

 

I am not an EPlus developer but I guess you could use it as an attribute of a 'void' or 'nil' surface. It is not difficult to have one of this type of surfaces if you deal with buildings with atrium or courtyards. As you cannot have one zone inside another you have to break open plan configurations somehow and that is when a 'void' surface would be needed.

 

Please guys from the development team correct me if I am mistaken but I saw a potential for this new feature to be used this way.

 

Clarice

Hi all,
I am currently going through a part of the Input - Output Reference of Energy Plus.
In page 80 it states that an Infrared Transparent surface will actually participate in the transfer of visible and solar radiation by doing a wavelength transformation and making all short wave radiation that is incident on the surface into long wave length radiation and having it participate in the long wavelength radiant exchange.
I was wondering in what kind of cases we may use this application.
Thanks,
Harris
