Description
Standard 140 revealed noticeable differences in sky temperature between CSE and other programs on cloudy days.
I noticed a significant difference between the ACM documentation and the source code.
In calculating sky emissivity, the ACM (equation 76) shows:
eSky = e0 + 0.784*(1 - e0)*cldCvr/10
While the source code shows:
eSky = e0 + 0.467*(1 - e0)*cldCvr/10
As a point of comparison, TRNSYS uses:
eSky = e0 + 0.9*(1 - e0)*cldCvr/10
The "test program" reference results in Standard 140 use the same methodology as described in the ACM for equation 73 (which, to my knowledge is not actually used in CSE):
