N2 - Performance-based building energy code has been introduced in Hong Kong. Approved simulation tools are allowed for analyzing the thermal processes and energy consumptions in buildings. It has been noted that different popular simulation tools adopt different solar models and hence give different results of solar irradiation on external facades, even if the same weather data set is used. This paper gives a brief review of the slope irradiance models in determining the incident solar radiation on the tilted surfaces. Evaluation of these models was then made by comparing the numerical results with the actual measured data.
