[Bldg-sim] EnergyPlus - Meant Radiant Temperature & Direct Solar Gain

[Harding, Ross]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know if the for mean radiant temperature calculation for
energy plus has the ability to take into account direct solar gain (ie
not indirectly from surfaces)? 

 

If not, how could this be accounted for in thermal comfort? Results from
a person standing near a window could be quite misleading if the direct
solar gain is not taken into account.

 

Kind Regards
