[TRNSYS-users] operative temperature

[leen peeters]

Karol,

that depends on the viewfactors. the operative temperature sensed by a
person depends on his/her location in a room.
If you check the book of Ole Fanger, you will be able to find that
explanation. A part of it, specifically applied to a radiator case is also
in my PhD.

If the 'radiating object' is close to a person and the location of the
person in the zone is thus clearly defined, his/her actual thermal
sensation will be influenced by the radiating object in case it is large
enough or the temperature is high enough.

However, the added value of a detailed calculation is limited in case the
real life scenario would be one where furniture is blocking the viewfactors
between radiating object and person.
