SurfaceTemp - [source code]
Solves outdoor surface temperature per analysis point via the frequency-domain admittance method (no thermal mesh, no warm-up). Feeds a future MRT component alongside Sky Exposure.
Input
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Points | Pts | Analysis points. | Point |
| Vectors | Vec | Normal vector at each analysis point (e.g. from Eddy3D's Brep Grid Points), one per point. | Vector |
| EPW | Path to an EPW weather file. | Text | |
| Material | Mat | SurfaceTemp material (from the SurfaceTemp Material component). | Generic Data |
| HOY | Hour(s) of year (1-8760) to output — one value, a list (e.g. a whole month), or leave unconnected for the full year. | Integer | |
| Indoor Temp | Tin | Indoor design temperature (°C) for wall/roof materials. Ignored for ground materials, which use the EPW annual mean air temperature instead. | Number |
| Sky View | Sky | Optional sky view factor (0-1) per analysis point, from Sky Exposure. One value per point, or a single value for all points. Unconnected points fall back to the ideal tilt-based value (no context occlusion). | Number |
| Run | Enable the surface-temperature calculation. | Boolean |
Output
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| SurfaceTemp | Surface temperature (°C) at each requested HOY (or the full 8760-hour year, if HOY is unconnected) — one branch per HOY, each holding every analysis point's value {hoy}(point count). | Number |
