Evaluation of radiative comfort in office buildings.

Author(s) : ACHARD G., LAFORGUE P., SOUYRI B.

Summary

The research developed by the authors consists of evaluating "radiative comfort" during no heating periods in office buildings. The expression "radiative comfort" is used to characterise the thermal and visual component of the feeling of people set in indoor environments submitted to sky and sun irradiation by bay windows. Two numerical models, one for the visual behaviour and the other for the thermal aspect, have been adjusted. The authors carried out simulations in the case of offices which is the main scope of our study.
