description

The approximate calculation method for diffuse solar irradiances in street cavities presented in an earlier paper is extended to include infrared flux densities. By expanding the infrared sky radiance as a truncated trigonometric series, it becomes possible to solve the integrals representing the obstruction of the sky analytically. An example is worked out to demonstrate the numerically very efficient calculation procedure.
