[TRNSYS-users] temperature at each layer of the BIPV

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Lizette,

   The answer to your question depends on what BIPV model you are using. 
If the BIPV model uses a finite difference approach then presumably it 
has (or may have) outputs for the temperature distribution through the 
layers. However, if the model uses a different algorithm, such as an 
overall energy balance, then you may not be able to get at the internal 
temperatures. The first thing to do is to look at the documentation of 
the model and understand how it makes its assessment of the thermal and 
electrical performance. If you are using one of the TESS models of BIPV 
you'll find the documentation in the ..\TrnsysXX\Tess 
Models\Documentation\ folder.

kind regards,

  David
