Written only with the building-physics / greening module. "Wall System" refers to the modelled wall; "Greening" and "Substrate" appear only where a green façade or green roof is present.
Wall and the air in front of it
Wall System: Shading flag ( )
Whether the wall point is shaded or sunlit.
Wall System: Air Temperature in front of Wall System (°C)
Air temperature just outside the wall.
Wall System: Wind Speed in front of Wall System (m/s)
Wind speed at the wall surface.
Wall System: Spec. Humidity in front of Wall System (g/kg)
Humidity at the wall surface.
Wall System: SW Rad. received / absorbed / reflected (W/m2)
Sunlight that hits, is taken in by, and is bounced off the wall.
Wall System: LW Rad. received / emitted (W/m2)
Heat radiation arriving at and given off by the wall.
Wall System: LW Rad. Energy Balance (W/m2)
Net heat-radiation gain/loss of the wall.
Wall System: Sensible Heat Flux H (W/m2)
Heat the wall passes to the air.
Wall System: Latent Heat Flux LE (W/m2)
Cooling from evaporation at the wall (e.g. from a wet/green surface).
Wall System: Sensible Heat Transmission Coeff. outside (W/m2K)
How easily heat moves between the wall surface and the outdoor air.
Wall System: Sum Humidity Flux at Wall System (g/s*m3)
Total moisture exchanged at the wall.
Inside the building and through the wall
Building: Temperature of Building (inside) (°C) — or — Energy to keep Air Temperature Building constant (inside) (W)
Either the indoor temperature, or (in conditioned-building mode) the heating/cooling energy needed to hold the indoor temperature steady.
Wall: Temperature Node 0 … 6 (°C)
Temperature at points through the wall, from the outer face (Node 0) to the inner face (Node 6). Shows how heat moves through the wall.
Green façade / green wall (only where present)
Wall: (air / radiation / heat values behind the greening)
A second set of the same air, radiation and heat values for the bare wall behind the greening, including the conduction heat flux through its outer layer.
Greening: Temperature Leaves in Canopy (°C)
Leaf temperature of the green layer.
Greening: Air Temperature / Air Humidity in Canopy
Conditions inside the green layer.
Greening: Air Temperature / Wind Speed in Front of Greening
Conditions just outside the greening.
Greening: SW / LW Rad. received / absorbed / reflected / emitted / Energy Balance (W/m2)
The greening's radiation exchange (the two-sided values count both leaf faces).
Greening: Transpiration Flux (mg/s*m3)
How much water the greening releases — its cooling effect.
Greening: Stomata Resistance (s/m)
How freely the green layer transpires.
Greening: Water Access Factor ( )
How well-watered the greening is (low = water-stressed).
Green-roof / green-wall substrate (only where present)
Substrate: Temperature Node 0 … 6 (°C)
Temperatures through the growing medium, outer to inner.
Substrate: Air Temperature / Wind Speed in front of Substrate
Conditions at the substrate surface.
Substrate: Surface Humidity (g/kg)
Humidity at the substrate surface.
Substrate: Humidity Flux at Substrate (mg/s*m3)
Moisture (evaporation) from the substrate.
Substrate: SW / LW Rad. received / absorbed / reflected / emitted / Energy Balance (W/m2)
The substrate's radiation exchange.
