Architectural Space Conditioning: Predicting Thermal Comfort
The effect of solar radiation as a prime cause of overheating in modern office buildings is due to lack of architectural attention to informed methods of sun control. The appropriateness of control measures inherent in the architectural treatment of the building envelope is described, and their effectiveness is measured by the amount of auxiliary energy necessary to maintain comfort. Charts enable a first estimate of window area, glass type and shading to be made. Solar radiation data provides a more detailed arithmetical check to be made on comfort temperature and auxiliary energy needs. This is illustrated by a worked example and single page worksheet. All discussion and methods relate to relatively conventional office buildings, but do have some applicability to future naturally space-conditioned buildings. (ERA citation 08:005488)
