Abstract
Solar radiation influences indoor thermal comfort then directly affects the occupants’ productivity and health. To clarify the impact of solar radiation, this study applied a comprehensive mean radiant temperature (MRT) algorithms which considered the different spatial condition instead of using the central point temperature to represent the whole space. Consequently, we summarized the impact of solar radiation on the long-term indoor thermal comfort evaluation in office building at different geographic location, and confirmed the discrepancy of thermal comfort evaluation results based on the MRT algorithms of unirradiated and irradiated by solar radiation.
