Opaque Material
Create a standard opaque material, which can be plugged into the "HB Opaque Construction" component.
Inputs
name
Text to set the name for the material and to be incorporated into a unique material identifier.
thickness [Required]
Number for the thickness of the material layer [m].
conductivity [Required]
Number for the thermal conductivity of the material [W/m-K].
density [Required]
Number for the density of the material [kg/m3].
spec_heat [Required]
Number for the specific heat of the material [J/kg-K].
roughness
Text describing the relative roughness of the material. Must be one of the following: 'VeryRough', 'Rough', 'MediumRough', 'MediumSmooth', 'Smooth', 'VerySmooth'. (Default: 'MediumRough').
therm_absp
A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of incident long wavelength radiation that is absorbed by the material. (Default: 0.9).
sol_absp
A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of incident solar radiation absorbed by the material. (Default: 0.7).
vis_absp
A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of incident visible wavelength radiation absorbed by the material. Default value is the same as the sol_absp.
Outputs
mat
A standard opaque material that can be assigned to a Honeybee Opaque construction.
