Comfort climate evaluation with thermal manikin methods and computer simulation models

Comfort climate evaluation with thermal manikin methods and computer simulation models.

With increasing demand for acceptable environment in the modern workplace is it necessary, already in the construction phase, to estimate what effect different environmental factors have on the occupants. Thermal sensation is affected by many factors in the work place environment, especially thermal factors and effects from air movement caused by different ventilation principles. A series of fu...

Evaluation of Tourism (Recreational & Sport) Climate using Quantitative Indicators of Thermal Comfort (Case study: Shahrood County)

Aims & Backgrounds: The present study was conducted to determine and evaluate thermal comfort in Shahrood. The main goal is to identify the best times for outdoor tourism in this city based on climatic conditions. Methodology: This is a descriptive-analytical research. Two quantitative indices Olgyay and Effective Temperature (ET) And Bahmanpour et al., (2012) model were used to determine the s...

Thermal Comfort Models and Complaint Frequencies

Thermal Building Simulation and Computer Generation of Nodal Models

The designer's preoccupation to reduce the energy needs and get a better thermal quality of ambiances helped in the development of several packages simulating the dynamic behaviour of buildings. This paper shows the adaptation of a method of thermal analysis, the nodal analysis, linked to the case of building's thermal behaviour. We take successively an interest in the case of conduction into a...

Radiative environments and thermal comfort in temperate climate

2014 The concept of dwelling is connected with the thermal comfort problem. Radiatively out of balance volumes may agree physiologically and psychologically with the ideal preferred comfort. Nevertheless taking into account vertical and horizontal gradients is a necessity, as well as other parameters of influence like air temperature, air velocity, hygrometry, activity and clothing. The mean ra...
