The directional beam and diffuse hemispherical (2 steradianacceptance angle) spectral irradiances on planes tilted 20 (representative of a pitched roof slope) and90 (tilt of a typical wall) to the horizontal are tabulated. The wavelength range for the spectra extendsfrom 280 nm to
7、4000 nm, covering the spectral range for which windows or solar collectors respondto shortwave energy. The input parameters used in conjunction with SMARTS for each set ofconditions are tabulated. The SMARTS model and documentation are available as an adjunct to thisstandard.1. Scope1.1 This table p

24、 hemisphericalirradiance. Two different albedos are considered by the model,and both only affect diffuse irradiance. The first albedocorresponds to the average surface reflectance of the far-fieldarea around the site, within a radius of 550 km. The secondalbedo is that of the foreground (or near-fie
25、ld) immediatelyadjacent to the tilted surface, to a distance of 10100 m. Thetwo albedos can be identical or different, but the foregroundalbedos effect significantly increases with tilt angle, whereasthe far-field albedos effect on diffuse irradiance decreases withtilt angle.3.2.4 integrated irradia

Because ASTME490 and SMARTS both use the data of Kurucz (5), theSMARTS and E490 spectra are in excelle

45、l irradiance incident on tilted or vertical fenestration orbuilding-integrated systems over a day, a season, or a year. Thespectral irradiance distributions have been chosen to representa reasonable near-upper limit for solar radiation when thesesystems are exposed to clear-sky conditions similar to
46、 thoseused to calculate solar heat loads of buildings. The diffusespectral irradiance distributions can also be used to representconditions when these systems are shaded from the direct sun.5.2 Absorptance, reflectance, and transmittance of solarradiation are important factors in studies of light tr

These properties are normallyfunctions of wavelength, which require that the spectral distri-bution of the solar flux be known before the solar-weightedproperty can be calculated.5.3 To compare the relative performance of competitiveproducts by computerized
48、 simulations, or to compare theperformance of products subjected to experimental tests inlaboratory conditions, a reference standard solar spectral dis-tribution for both direct and diffuse irradiance is desirable.5.4 The table provides appropriate standard spectral irradi-ance distributions for det

Thetable may be used to evaluate components and materials for thepurpose of solar simulation where the direct and the diffusespectral solar irradiances are needed separately.5.5 The selected air mass value of 1.5 for a plane-parallelatmosphere above a flat earth corresponds to a zenith angle of48.19.
