The Arup Advanced Comfort Tool is an advanced simulation platform designed to predict human thermal comfort under changing and non-uniform environmental conditions. It enables users to evaluate scenarios involving temperature stratification, radiant asymmetry, and the influence of personal environmental controls. By inputting detailed data on environmental factors, activities, clothing, or population groups, the tool provides an accurate simulation of human thermal sensations in corresponding environments.
This capability allows architects, engineers, and designers to assess building designs from the perspective of occupant comfort. The tool's ability to model progressive thermal conditions offers insights into how comfort levels evolve over time, helping users optimize designs to balance energy efficiency and occupant well-being.
The Arup Advanced Comfort Tool empowers professionals to prioritize comfort in their projects, ensuring environments meet both functional and human needs. This resource is particularly valuable for creating spaces that adapt to diverse and dynamic thermal conditions, improving the overall quality of indoor environments.
