English abstract:
Computational applications for the evaluation of buildingsī energy performance (including their passive and active solar energy systems) require detailed information regarding incident solar radiation. As only global horizontal irradiance data is available for most locations, models are needed to derive from such global data, the diffuse radiation component. In this context, the present paper compares the predictive performance of six existing and one new diffuse fraction models for the location of Vienna, Austria.
