... agreement with experiments, except when the profile and slat angles are aligned. In that case, the flat slat model predicts blind transmissions that are too large. The models developed in this study provide useful input to multilayer glazing/shading models used for rating or for building energy simulation...

... Center (NCDC). Weather files suitable for building energy simulation are developed using measuered data as well as predictions from the four solar models. A series of simulation analysis to determine the impact of solar model selection for the weather file on the energy uses predictions from a whole...
