Comfort Gradients

 

Are there other tools out there which are specifically developed to perform
only comfort calculations, PMV, PPD, etc.?

 

My understanding of the comfort models in DesignBuilder, ApacheSim other
energy modeling engines is that they calculate comfort only at the central
node of each thermal zone. 

 

Is anyone aware of tools which calculate a gradient of comfort within each
thermal zone?

 

 

Thanks

Arpan
