Solar Radiation and Solar Geometry

Education facts

Code: AEG2B6

The course treats the physics of solar radiation, solar geometry, the way solar radiation is distributed over time and space, the different ways to measure solar radiation, and the way solar radiation data is dealt with using different models to calculate solar radiation on surfaces. Different methods for calculating how shading affects available solar radiation are reviewed. As a special application of solar radiation, daylight is studied as well as the way building design and window placement affect daylight conditions in buildings.
