The CBE Thermal Comfort Tool is an interactive online platform designed for thermal comfort calculations and visualizations based on international standards. It integrates key thermal comfort models, including Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), Standard Effective Temperature (SET), adaptive models, local discomfort models, SolarCal, and dynamic predictive clothing insulation, allowing users to assess and optimize indoor comfort conditions.
The tool provides dynamic visualizations that illustrate thermally comfortable conditions under different models. It also supports batch processing, enabling users to upload time-series or large datasets for automatic calculation of PMV, PPD, SET, and CE. This makes it ideal for predictions, helping researchers and designers assess seasonal or annual comfort trends in both simulated and real buildings.
With its comprehensive capabilities, the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool serves as an essential resource for architects, engineers, and building designers looking to optimize indoor thermal environments for energy efficiency and occupant well-being.
