Abstract
Building energy performance simulation programs such as DOE-2 neglect thermal comfort. They basically assume that control of air temperature is synonymous with thermal comfort control. The present study account s for other factors in thermal comfort such as air velocity and mean r adiant temperature. A 31-story office building has been studied in bot h Chicago and Miami. DOE-2 was used to predict the building energy per formance for three energy conservation measures. The output from DOE-2 was then used to determine the consequences on thermal comfort.
