Opaque Material No Mass

Create an opaque material that has no mass, 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.

  • r_value [Required]

    Number for the R-value of the material [m2-K/W].

  • roughness

    Text describing the relative roughness of a particular 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 no-mass opaque material that can be assigned to a Honeybee Opaque construction.
