Trombe wall

Post by maud.fouquerand »

Hi,

I am trying to model a Trombe wall in WUFI to check if there is no condensation. It is a type of solar wall with a glass facade, a ventilated air layer, a wall in rammed earth for inertia (pisé) and intern insulation. It has a different way of working in summer and winter, but I would first like to check for condensation, to see if the additional heat obtained in the air layer thanks to solar radiation can dry the rammed earth wall.

However, I have a few questions:
- I saw in the forum that it is possible to model a ventilated air layer, but I did not find the post explaining how. Can I model ventilation without WUFI2D ?
- I have trouble to model the glass and so the transmission of solar radiation to the rammed earth wall, is there a way to add a transparent material in WUFI ?

Thank you very much,

Maud
