Thermal comfort

This page is work-in-progress

In XX the methods used to assess comfort and their attributes are:

  • Fanger - dry bulb, RH, MRT, air velocity, clo value, metabolic rate.
  • Radiant asymmetry - sensor position and shape, view factors to zone surfaces, zone surface temperatures
  • ...
  • Dependencies

    In XX comfort assessments draw information from the following:

  • Surface temperatures of zones as well as the current humidity...
  • Metabolic rates and clothing levels from ...
  • Location of comfort sensors from ...
  • Simulation intent

    The following scenarios can be assessed:

  • Resultant temperature as a proxy (post-simulation checks) ...
  • Average Fanger metrics ...
  • Position specific tests based on comfort sensors ...
  • Control based on thermal comfort

    Occupants often attempt to adjust their local environment if the are not comfortable. XX detects such discomfort and acts as follows:

  • ...
