Modeling solar radiation on a human body indoors by a novel mathematical model

Yingdong He et al.

Summary: Solar radiation has a significant impact on occupant comfort and building energy consumption, but it has been relatively overlooked in environmental design and energy simulation. Recent developments have led to the adoption of simplified occupant-centered models, such as the SC Model, and comprehensive simulation procedures like the DC Model. The HNU Solar Model presented in this paper offers a quicker alternative for calculating annual increases in mean radiant temperature (MRT) compared to the DC Model, making it a useful tool for evaluating indoor environments and designing fenestration in HVAC systems.
