<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Thanks for correcting me – I mixed up the terminology. I
guess the point I was trying to make was, although MRT will vary throughout the
zone at each point in space – is it unfair to take a representative point
(say, at the center of each zone) and calculate the MRT at that point? In a
perimeter zone during summer the MRT would be hotter closer to the window, and
cooler closer to the core, so taking a central point would seem reasonable.
What seems difficult to me would be to take the surface temperatures (which I
am now assuming from your response we CAN retrieve from eQUEST), calculate the
solid angles and figure out to automate the process for every zone…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I take your point that this is an average for the zone. My gut
says as long as you’re not averaging across a whole floorplate that this
methodology would be sound. I don’t mean to be contrary, I’m just
interested in learning what the software is capable of.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

each surface? – perhaps I misread it. I would assume, though, that if you
could get it for each surface, than you could calculate the PMV of each zone.
Your end result would show that zone A had -4 and B had +4 and they
wouldn’t be averaged together. This approach would understand and provide
results that back up Vikram’s point that a space near a façade will
experience different MRT than a core zone. Is that not possible in eQUEST?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

say that on average everyone in your building is comfortable? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Calculating MRT in a lumped node simulation program is kind of
like that - an average MRT for a zone is often misleading. For example - a room
with a large west window in the summer time will have a much higher MRT for
someone sitting next to the window than for someone sitting near an interior
wall on the other side - especially if there is direct sunlight in the room.
Similarly - in winter - proximity to a north window might result in a much
lower MRT than for someone sitting near the core. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Bottom line - you pick the tool that's appropriate to the
analysis. You really want a full-field solution tool (like a CFD program or a
thermal software like RADtherm) to perform comfort analyses like this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

have to calculate the PMV for a zone and I did the analysis already in
eQUEST. I need the mean radiant temperature though to perform this
calc. I am pretty sure that MRT is not an output variable so I'm guessing
I need to calculate the wall temperatures and do it myself. Has anyone
tried to do this before? I didn't find anything in the archives or in the
DOE22 manual. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
