[Equest-users] Simulation for Non AC buildings

[Javed Iqbal]

If you check equest forum, few days back there was discussion on Thermal
comfort analysis and Mean Radiant Temp calculation through equest with some
work around but if i remember correctly it was complex way of modeling. I
would like to hear from senior equesters on this issue.
