Development of a methodology to quantify the impact of fenestration systems on human thermal comfort.

Author(s) : SENGUPTA J., CHAPMAN K. S., KESHAVARZ A.

Summary

The paper discusses the development of a methodology to quantify the impact of fenestration systems on human thermal comfort with a representative case study. The methodology is based on the building comfort analysis program that was developed during ASHRAE research projects 657 and 907. The paper expands on the existing three-dimensional mathematical model by incorporating a method to read in a user-defined fenestration system and also read in the properties obtained from the widely available Window program. A representative case study is analyzed to illustrate the means of quantifying the results. Results have been quantified as a percentage of comfortable floor area.
