reflective membrane

[crwc]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a reflective membrane (vapour barrier or under-roof screen) on Delphin?

If not, which material could be the closest to this reflective side?

Regards,

Hello,

You mean this membrane reflects longwave radiation?
If such a membrane is mounted on a side of a cavity it is possible to model it by using the longwave radiation exchange model (field condition). Maybe you can show me an example and I can show you how to handle it.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Here is an exemple (in attachment) of the section I would like to model.

In this case, is it possible to model a aluminised roof sreen or vapor barrier ? Infrared radiation is then reflected.

Regards,

Claire

Hello,

Yes, this is possible. You can use the field condition 'longwave radiation exchange in a cavity'. Here you can set the emission coefficients of both sides of the cavity. You only have to set a low value at the bottom side (with reflective membrane). Thats all.
