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:
...
