Abstract
Systems and methods for a compact wall model are provided. According to one aspect, embodiments herein provide a method that comprises receiving input data related to an enclosure, the input data including solar intensity data on an exterior of a wall of the enclosure, generating, by a processor, a thermal model of a wall of the enclosure based at least in part on the input data, the wall modeled as having a plurality of layers and the thermal model including a plurality of nodes such that each layer of the plurality of layers is associated with at least one node of the plurality of nodes and each node of the plurality of nodes is thermally coupled to an adjacent node by a thermal resistance, solving, by the processor, an energy balance equation for the at least one node to determine a predicted temperature for the at least one node, and output the predicted temperature to a display device.
