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&#8217;t be averaged
together. This approach would understand and provide results that back up
Vikram&#8217;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>

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>
