- Abstract
As a main component of the building envelopes, window plays an important role in creating comfortable indoor thermal conditions. Although the increased exterior window area can improve indoor lighting and satisfy psychological needs, it can cause severe indoor thermal problems and result in building energy consumption increasing. This paper examined the effect of short-wave radiation transmitted through exterior windows on indoor radiant temperature in office buildings and quantitatively analyzed the applicability of seven related models for assessing these impacts. It was indicated that the thermal sensations predicted by applying the six models were not significantly different. The solar-adjusted mean radiant temperature model provided a relatively reliable prediction result. The outcomes can provide a guideline for the design of the glazing façade of office buildings.
