MISTRAL
Geography & Meteorology
Small scale sample Mistral meteorological routine.
No one understands energy better than Mistral!
Mistral standard program feature that with a single mouse click:-
Automatically loads all diurnal meteorological data from user editable geographical
national databases covering all countries or regions of the world, along with insolation
factors, solar azimuth and declination angles (thus compound incidence angles), for any
structure at any orientation at any location clicked on any one of 60,105 zoomable,
detailed and seamlessly scrolling interactive world maps (to a location sensitivity of plus
or minus 500 metres when zoomed to maximum resolution).
Thus computing total conductivity gains or losses, plus primary and secondary radiation
and reflectance incident values through any number of structure surfaces, arranged at
any plan angle, made up of any compound mixture of building and insulation materials, plus
fenestration. With correction for surface air boundary layer effect (still air and
moving), adjacent ground surface reflectance, surface colours and shading. At
15 minute intervals for the entire year.
Instantly switchable between SI (metric) and Imperial units (repeated switching without incurring cumulative 'rounding errors').
Mistral's imitators - Don’t!
Loads solar azimuth, declination, sun hour strength factor and climatic data at 15 minute intervals for year at selected position.
