Advanced MRT Simulation Tool

Description

We have developed a novel mean radiant temperature (MRT) simulation tool. The tool uses raytracing and human body geometry to provide high-resolution spatial analysis of MRT distribution in indoor environments. The simulation is constructed to aid designers in analyzing the impact of architectural form and materials on the embodied perception of heat.
