Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal Comfort

["Ian Doebber" <idoebber@xxxxxx>]

Use the "purchased air" components that replaces the specification of an HVAC system. It provides your zones with all the necessary heaing/cooling to maintain them for the setpoint temperature that you specify.  For an example of using purchased air, look at the example files that come with energy plus.  It will give you an general idea on how to set it up.  

The mean radiant temperature for each zone is an output as well as the inside temperature of each wall.  Just look for the outputs for mean radiant temperature and wall constructions in the "InputOutputReference" document. You can also output the Fanger, Pierce, or KSU thermal comfort measurements for each zone of your model.  Again, look at the "InputOutputReference" document.  Good luck

  Dear all,
  I want to use Energyplus to simmulate a building and calculate 
  thermal comfort. Can I set up a building without a HVAC system and 
  just input control temperature? Since I am curious only about Mean 
  Radiant Temperature now. Is there any way to let Energyplus report 
  all the wall temperautes?  Thank you in advance.
