Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] operative temperature prediction

Abhijeet:

EnergyPlus does not calculate exact view factors, but the user does 
have partial control over the MRT calculation for thermal comfort.  
You can choose "Zone Averaged" or "Surface Weighted" MRT.  With 
Surface Weighted MRT, the user specifies a single surface in the zone 
which will be given a view factor of 0.5 to the person, and the other 
half of the MRT is the zone average.  For more details, please see p. 
146 of the Input Output Reference.
