Thermal Comfort Tool created by the UC Berkeley Center for the Built
Environment and available from ASHRAE publications (if I recall correctly)
includes a very easy-to-use MRT calculator for rectangular rooms. It allows for
MRT at a particular position in that room, separate surface temperatures and
dimensions for surfaces, and also the inclusion of a “panel” or
other area within one of the walls (such as a cold/hot window, heating panel,
etc.) that has a distinct temperature. This is part of a very handy tool for
determining PPD, etc. based upon the typical range of human thermal comfort
variables (clo value, activity level, air temp, MRT, humidity, air movement).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
