[TRNSYS-users] angle of incidence

[David Bradley]

The Type56 window model includes thermal properties that depend on the 
angle of incidence of the solar radiation falling on the window (visible 
transmittance, for example, changes with incidence angle as the window's 
reflectance increases as the angle of incidence increases).
