Abstract

In the thesis the calculation of solar radiation coefficients, transmission-absorption-reflection, for the glazing materials are explained. Surface and layer coefficients are investigated and their physical-mathematical backgrounds are discussed. During the solution process two methods which are ray tracing and net radiation methods are introduced. The advantages and disadvantages of the both methods are presented. Finally a software tool is programmed for any possibilities of glazing systems. With theoretical examples which are solved by the software tool the subject is tried to be clarified.

Keywords
