This section contains surface parameters. When viewing graphs based on the surface parameters, the output selection must contain surfaces and the correct surface output specification for the required parameters.

Internal Temperature

The temperature of the near side of the selected surface [Unit: degrees Celsius].

External Temperature

The temperature of the far side of the selected surface [Unit: degrees Celsius].

Internal Solar Gain

The amount of solar gain absorbed by the near side of the selected surface [Unit: Watts].

External Solar Gain

The amount of solar gain absorbed by the far side of the selected surface [Unit: Watts].

Aperture Flow In

The amount of air flowing in through the selected aperture [Unit: kilograms per second].

Aperture Flow Out

The amount of air flowing out through the selected aperture [Unit: kilograms per second].

Internal Condensation

The amount of condensation on the near side of the selected surface [Unit: grams per square metre].

Interstitial Condensation

The amount of condensation within the construction of the selected surface [Unit: grams per square metre].

External Condensation

The amount of condensation on the far side of the selected surface [Unit: grams per square metre].

Internal Conduction

The amount of heat transfer through the fabric of the construction. If the value is positive, the heat is being transferred to the near side of the surface. If the value is negative, it is being transferred away [Unit: Watts].

External Conduction

The amount of heat transfer through the fabric of the construction. If the value is positive, the heat is being transferred to the far side of the surface. If the value is negative, it is being transferred away [Unit: Watts].

Aperture Opening

The area of the opening which is a percentage of the total surface area.

Internal Long Wave

The amount of the longwave radiation absorbed by the near side of the surface minus the amount of the longwave radiation, radiated by the surface [Unit: Watts].

External Long Wave

The amount of the longwave radiation absorbed by the far side of the surface minus the amount of longwave radiation radiated by the surface [Unit: Watts].

Internal Convection

The amount of energy transferred between the internal air and the near side of the surface. If the value is positive, the air is heating the surface. If the value is negative the surface is heating the air [Unit: Watts].

External Convection

The amount of energy transferred between the external air and the far side of the surface. If the value is positive, the air is heating the surface. If the value is negative the surface is heating the air [Unit: Watts].
