color=#0000ff size=2>If your doing PMV calcs, I'm not sure any of the current
energy simulation models (energyplus, equest, trace etc) are a good choice. They
are lumped node models, and as such average zone temperatures and surface
temperatures. Things like MRT depend so much on what position in the room your
in. For instance in a 100 ft x 100ft room if you have a west glass facade, with
interior walls around it, your PMV 5 feet away from the facade is going to be
radically different than that 90 feet away. I would also caution about averaging
these values. If you have one end of your room that's too cold, and another
that's too hot, your answer will be that every one is comfortable, when in
reality no one is. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

this study, I would recommend using a full field solution (like CFD or RadTherm)
that will allow you to look at sample MRTs at different points in the room.
