[Bldg-sim] MRT Tool

[Timothy Moore]

Karen,

 

The ASHRAE-55 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).

 

Cheers,

Timothy

Hello,

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.

Thanks!
