teaser.logic.buildingobjects.calculation.four_element module

class teaser.logic.buildingobjects.calculation.four_element.FourElement(thermal_zone, merge_windows, t_bt)

Bases: object

This class contains attributes and functions for four element model

This model adds another element for the roof. Roofs commonly exhibit the same excitations as exterior walls but have different coefficients of heat transfer due to their orientation. Thus the model distinguishes between internal thermal masses and exterior walls divided into outerwalls (vertical), rooftops and ground plates. While all exterior walls contribute to heat transfer to the ambient, adiabatic conditions apply to interior walls. This approach allows considering the dynamic behaviour induced by internal heat storage. This class calculates and holds all attributes given in documentation.

It treats OuterWalls, Rooftops and GroundFloors separate resulting in three RC-combination for these. Depending on the chosen method it will consider an extra resistance for windows or merge all windows into the RC-Combination for outer walls.

Parameters:

thermal_zone: ThermalZone()

teaser.logic.buildingobjects.calculation.three_element module

class teaser.logic.buildingobjects.calculation.three_element.ThreeElement(thermal_zone, merge_windows, t_bt)

Bases: object

This class contains attributes and functions for three element model

This model adds one further element for the floor plate. Long-term effects dominate the excitation of the floor plate and thus the excitation differs from excitation of outer walls. Thus the model distinguishes between internal thermal masses and exterior walls divided into those who are exposed to the sun and ground plates. While exterior walls contribute to heat transfer to the ambient, adiabatic conditions apply to interior walls. This approach allows considering the dynamic behaviour induced by internal heat storage. This class calculates and holds all attributes given in documentation.

It treats Rooftops and OuterWalls as one type of outer walls and distinguishes GroundFloors as a separately resulting in two RC-combination for these types.

Depending on the chosen method it will consider an extra resistance for windows or merge all windows into the RC-Combination for outer walls.

Parameters:

teaser.logic.buildingobjects.calculation.two_element module

class teaser.logic.buildingobjects.calculation.two_element.TwoElement(thermal_zone, merge_windows, t_bt)

Bases: object

This class contains attributes and functions for two element model

This model distinguishes between internal thermal masses and exterior walls. While exterior walls contribute to heat transfer to the ambient, adiabatic conditions apply to interior walls. This approach allows considering the dynamic behaviour induced by internal heat storage. This class calculates and holds all attributes given in documentation.

It treats Rooftops, GroundFloors and OuterWalls as one type of outer walls and computes one RC-combination for these types.

Depending on the chosen method it will consider an extra resistance for windows or merge all windows into the RC-Combination for outer walls.

Parameters:

thermal_zone: ThermalZone()
