2、 and Watson and Chapman (2001) in general, but they do not focus specifically on quantifying the impact of windows. A joint study done by the Windows and Daylighting Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and the Center for Environmental Design Research (CEDR) at the University of Cal

3、ifornia at Berkeley used a parametric approach to study windows and their effect on indoor comfort. Ten generic glazing systems, ranging from a single-pane window to high-performance windows, were examined for their thermal comfort impacts. The PMV was calculated for each combination of occupant/win

4、dow geometry, window surface temperatures, and clothing insulation. Results in terms of net PPD for each case were plotted to help visualize the trends for the dependence of thermal comfort on clothing and window type (Lyons et al. 1999). THERMAL COMFORT SIMULATION AND MODELING THE EFFECT OF WINDOWS

5、 It is understood from the above discussion that the impact of windows on human thermal comfort can be quantified if, for a room with windows, the air and mean radiant temperatures can be accurately calculated, since other quantifying comfort parameters depend on these two variables. The dry-bulb te

6、mperature is easily measured, while the mean radiant temperature can be calculated either by the classical method using surface temperatures and view factors as described in ASHRAE Fundamentals (200 I) or the radiant intensity method presented by Chapman and DeGreef (1997). The clas- sical method as

7、sumes the surfaces to be isothermal. Unfortu- nately, such is not the case for walls bearing windows. Because of different thermal and optical properties of the glazing, the glazing surface temperatures are distinctly different from the wall surface temperatures. In such cases the surface is subdi-

8、vided into smaller surfaces until the assumption of uniform temperatures is valid. This necessitates calculating a large number of view factors between the point under analysis and the surfaces as the number of surfaces increases. Further, since the glass is opaque in the infrared region, the radian

9、t energy in that region is reflected back into the room and this effect is not accounted for in the classical method. Also, in the case where solar radiation, which is short-wavelength radiation, shines through a window, the method fails as it does not consider window transmission and only considers

10、 the wall surface temperatures as boundary conditions. On the other hand, in the radiant intensity method, the mean radiant temperature is calculated by (Chapman and DeGreef 1997): (4) Since this equation provides a more generalized approach to calculating Tmrt than using the surrounding surface tem

11、per- atures, as given in the classical method and extensively vali- dated by DeGreef and Chapman (1 998), this method is used here to calculate the mean radiant temperature. However, this necessitates an accurate determination of the radiant intensity field. The easiest way to do so would be to solv

12、e the radiative transfer equation (RTE) (zisik 1977; Siegel and Howell 1981; Viskanta and Mengc 1987): + - (fi - Cl)Ih(R)dO Osh 4n I R For the case of a typical occupied room, the absorption and scattering coefficients can be assumed as zero and the equation reduces to 31, ar, 31, ax ay aZ p-+k-+q-

13、= o. The associated boundary condition in thex, y, andz direc- tions are given by (7) where p, = l-E*-T, (8) Each ofthe equations in equation set 7 has two terms. The first term represents the spectral emission from the surface, while the second term represents the reflected radiant inten- sity. Sev

14、eral models that engineers have developed to acquire the techniques of the RTE solution are documented in Siegel and Howell (1981) and Modest (1993). A review of the solu- tion techniques can be found in Chapman and Sengupta (2004) and DeGreef (1998). The technique adopted here is the discrete ordin

15、ates model that was first developed by Carlson and Lathrop (1968) in the neutron transport analysis. Jones and Chapman (1 994) used this model in ASHRAE Research Project 657 to develop an improved methodology, known as the BCAP methodology, to determine radiant exchange in an enclosure and incorpora

16、te the same in human comfort calcu- lations. The model, also used by Chapman and Zhang (1 995, ASHRAE Transactions: Research 241 1996) and Chapman et al. (1997), considers discrete directions and nodes and calculates the radiant intensity at each point and direction within the enclosure. The enclosu

17、re space is divided into a three-dimensional space of finite control volumes and Equation 5 is integrated over each three-dimensional control volume. The resulting equation in a discrete directionj is given by 4 e t t XYZ The control volume intensity on one side is assumed to be independent of the o

18、ther two directions. For example, the intensity on the x interface is not affected by the y and z direc- tions (Patankar 1980). The consequence of this procedure is that the intensity iw is uniform over the left surface of the control volume (Figure 3). Similarly, the intensity 4 is uniform over the

19、 bottom surface of the control volume. The equation then becomes PpAY (i; + Ax - iX) + CjAW + Ay - 4) (10) +qjAxAy(r,+,-i,) = O. This equation contains six interface intensities. Assuming the intensity profile across the control volume is linear, the intensity at the center of the control volume, po

20、intp, is (True- love 1988; Fiveland 1988) Ep = aix+Ax+(l-a)ix = a+Ay+(l -a) (1 1) - aiZ+,+(l-a)r, The interpolation factor a is set equal to 1 to avoid nega- tive intensities (Fiveland 1987, 1988), which are physically impossible and will yield unstable solutions. Substituting Equation 11 into Equat

21、ion 10 yields dAzAyi; + E;AzAx + $ Jamaluddin and Smith, 1988). The values for Ax, Ay, and Az are determined by the size of the control volume. The solution for Equation 12 is essen- tially an iterative solution solved in conjunction with appro- priate boundary conditions. The discretized form of th

22、e boundary conditions given by Equation 7 is: (13) Equation 12 is solved iteratively in association with boundary conditions given by Equation 13 to obtain the inten- sity in each of the j directions at pointp. These can be then used in Equation 4 to determine the mean radiant temperature. Note 242

25、perative temperature and the PMV Though the air temperature can be easily measured using a dry-bulb thermometer, since a numerical technique was employed to calculate the mean radiant temperature, a numer- ical scheme can be easily adopted to calculate the air temper- ature as well. Such a numerical

26、 scheme would need a room air energy balance and a wall surface energy balance for each wall. For steady-state calculations the equations are: Ti)+ ai n.RI(R)dR- 19 cioT4 = O (17) The first term of Equation 16 represents convective losses to the bounding surfaces, and the second term represents the

27、air infiltration rate, where To is the temperature of the infiltrat- ing air. The first term of Equation 17 represents conduction through the wall where R, is the thermal resistance of the wall and the outer convective boundary layer. The second term is the convective heat flux between the inner sur

28、face and room air. The third term represents the incident radiant heat flux absorbed by the wall surface, while the fourth term is the radi- ant emission from the wall. Together these two terms equal the net radiant heat flux at the bounding surface. Equations 16 and 17 can be solved iteratively in

29、association with relevant bound- ary conditions. A finite difference method as described by Patankar (1980) was used for the numerical solution. Interest- ingly, the value ofl(Q) needed in Equation 17 can be obtained by solving the RTE using the discrete ordinates model delin- eated earlier. Further

30、more, solving Equations 16 and 17 will also give the surface temperature Ti for each wall surface element. BCAP Modified The Building Comfort Analysis Program (BCAP) meth- odology (Jones and Chapman 1994), briefly reviewed earlier, has been used with necessary modifications to suit the work presente

31、d here. Figure 4 gives the modified methodology. The boundary condition has been modified to include transmission through the glazing system, and they have been mathemati- cally described in Equation 14. The other enhancement has been to incorporate the surface properties directly from the Window 5.

32、1TM program and the ability to describe a frame around the glazing system. The last modification to the exist- ing BCAP has been the addition of PMV to quantiQ the ther- mal comfort along with the operative temperature. The PMV corresponding to the PPD of 10% is calculated at each node point in the

In the simulation, the exterior wall is the left wall of the room (refer to Figure 5a for wall designations). All other walls including the floor and the ceiling were

The temperature limits correspond to the ASHRAE winter conditions. The U-factor of all bounding walls was set to 0.38 W/m2-K (0.067 Btu/h-f?- R), according to the p

Of note is that for the sedentary conditions with a clothing insulation value of 1.0 CIO and with a metabolic rate of 70 W/ m2, the operative temperature of around 16C does not make the room comfortable for at least 90% of th

44、e people occupying the room. In fact, as seen in Figure 8, no part of the room is in the acceptable criterion of PMV; being between -0.5 and +0.5 for a 10% PPD. This is interesting, since it shows that even for rooms without a fenestration system subjected to winter conditions, thermally comfortable

45、 areas do not exist for 90% of the people. Another interesting question to address before adding a fenestration system would be to evaluate the total power required for conditioning this space, i.e., a room without a 246 fenestration system with one wall subjected to outside temper- ature of -18C. T

46、he same space is conditioned by introducing radiant heat into the room. The heaters are placed inside the walls (see Figure 7 for locations), effectively making the walls heated walls. The right wall heater is of the same size as the right wall, while the ceiling heater, floor heater, front wall hea

47、ter, and back wall heater only extend for half of the walls. The choice of location of the heater probably has little signif- icance in a room without fenestration. However, the effort was to ensure that heating is introduced farthest from the wall exposed to the outside conditions. The reason was t

48、o ensure that the heat was introduced in a manner so as not to skew the radiant temperature within the space. This is especially critical once the fenestration is added to the walls exposed to outside ASHRAE Transactions: Research Figure 9 Case D-R-1-2, thermal comfort signatures (no fenestration an

Since ASHRAE winter conditions were being simulated, the space was conditioned by heating. The space can be condi- tioned either by space heating, when simulating ASHRAE winter conditions, or by space cooling, when simulating ASHRAE summer conditions. Space conditioning is achieved by iterating to a solution such that the “thermostat setting” is 24C for summer or 2 1
