| Room: [room name]
|
Located in the left panel of the Room Temperature tab, Room: [room name] can be
selected to display
Room Temperature on a table in the data
display panel on the right side of the Room
Temperature tab.
|
| Room: [room name] Monthly average results
|
Contains a table used to display simulated average
room temperatures in the selected room for each month of the time period being
simulated.
- Month
— Displays the twelve months of the year. Average room temperatures are then
displayed for each month of the simulation time period.
-
Operative — Displays the average Operative temperature for each month of the
simulated time period. Operative temperature refers to an index that combines
air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human
perceived equivalent temperature. That is how hot it feels, sometimes termed
the felt air temperature. The human body normally cools itself by perspiration,
which evaporates and carries heat away. When relative humidity is high, the
evaporation rate is reduced, so heat is removed at a lower rate causing it to
retain more heat than it would in dry air. Measurements have been taken based
on subjective descriptions of how hot subjects feel for a given temperature and
humidity, allowing an index to be made which relates one temperature and
humidity combination to another at a higher temperature in drier air.
- Mean
Radiant — Displays the average Mean Radiant temperature values for each month
of the simulated time period. Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) of a room is the
measure of the combined effects of temperatures of surfaces within that room.
The larger the surface area and the closer one is to it, the more effect the
surface temperature of that surface has on each other. The MRT is the measure
of all these surface areas and temperatures.
- Mean
Air — Displays the average Mean Air temperature values for each month of the
simulated time period. Mean Air temperature is the average temperature of the
air temperatures at the system timestep.
-
Outdoor Drybulb — Displays the average Outdoor Drybulb temperature for each
month of the simulated time period. These values come from the weather profile
being used for the project simulation.
|
| Room: [room name] Peak day results [peak day of the
simulated time period]
|
Contains a table used to display simulated room
temperatures for the selected room on the peak day of the simulated time
period.
- Peak
day — Located above the peak day room temperatures table, the peak day date is
displayed in the following format: month/day/year
- Hour —
Displays the 24 hours of the of the peak day of the simulated time period. Room
temperatures are then displayed for each hour of the simulation peak day.
-
Operative — Displays the Operative temperature for each hour of the simulated
time period peak day. Operative temperature refers to an index that combines
air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human
perceived equivalent temperature. That is how hot it feels, sometimes termed
the felt air temperature. The human body normally cools itself by perspiration,
which evaporates and carries heat away. When relative humidity is high, the

simulated time period peak day. These values come from the weather profile
