Hello,
<P>TRNSYS user Alain Cordier (Toulouse, France) has implemented thermal
comfort
<BR>calculations within a modified Type 56 (multi-zone building model).
<P>This improvement allows the output of:
<P> PMV (Predicted Mean Vote)
<P> PPD (Predicted Percentage
of Dissatisfied) and
<BR> PPS (Predicted Percentage
of Satisfied).
<P>See
<BR><A HREF="http://evl.cstb.fr/francais/projets/IISiBat/TRNSYS/trnsys14.htm">http://evl.cstb.fr/francais/projets/IISiBat/TRNSYS/trnsys14.htm</A>
<BR>for details.
<P>The team at university of Toulouse has also developped a detailed model
of the
<BR>human body (MARCL). The french version of an article describing this
can
<BR>be downloaded from the WEB site of IBPSA France:

<P>Hope this helps,
