face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>There is
currently a trend of designing new commercial buildings with large glazed
façades. Maintaining comfort in the perimeter zones of these buildings is
difficult due to their transmittance of solar radiation and exposure to cold
outdoor air temperature. Designing these buildings with high-performance
façades, however, can improve energy performance, provide a high-quality
thermal and visual environment, and reduce thermal loads. This book presents an
experimental and simulation study of the indoor thermal environment of a
perimeter zone office with glass façade and solar shading device. The study
investigates the impact of climate, glazing type, and shading properties on
thermal comfort. By considering comfort as a key consideration in building
design from the initial design stage through to building occupancy, it can be ensured
that new high-performance and passive solar buildings are, not only
aesthetically pleasing and energy-efficient, but also comfortable and enjoyable
places to work and live. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

open window to have comfort issues associated with transmitted short-wave
radiation, nor does it have to be direct-beam radiation—any window
permitting occupants to receive a good dose of transmitted diffuse and/or
direct solar radiation is reason enough to care about this effect. The paper at
the CBE link above provides a very useful means of estimating the contribution
of both direct-beam and diffuse solar radiation. The discussion of the impact
of diffuse radiation begins on page 44 and the discussion of direct radiation
starts on page 49.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

has an Advanced Thermal Comfort model that they will be happy to run for you as
consultants to your project (and which their industry partners also have direct
access to) which takes into account short-wave radiation striking a human
subject, along with numerous very detailed thermal comfort parameters. This
tool was used for several key sections of the paper linked above, so you can
see examples of the model and results there. Not only does this model account
for occupant attributes like body mass (along with the usual comfort
parameters), it actually models 16 different human body parts and the constriction
and dilation of blood vessels that accompanies different thermo-physiological
states. This model, which is not really all that difficult to work with, has
been used for CBE consulting to the automotive industry and a in-house by
handful of large A&E firms. If you want to learn more, the following link

Good Point !! Do you take the radiation temperature at the virtual
surface of the open window ??<br>
NO. It is the wrong answer, but now you need to know things like the RT
of an adjacent building,<br>
background sky RT, luminosity...<br>

the comfort calculation is when there is an uneven radiant field (hot or cold

average out the MRT for an entire room? Don’t your view factors change

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).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Is anyone aware of a simple Mean Radiant Temperature calculation tool?
I'm looking for something that will calculate MRT for a basic rectangular room.<br>

Thanks!<br>
