Occupant Comfort Simulation

Occupant Comfort Simulation is a computational modeling approach that specifically predicts human thermal and environmental comfort within built spaces by integrating dynamic interactions between HVAC system performance, building envelope characteristics, and occupant behavior, thereby distinguishing it from general building energy or airflow simulations.
