Numerical simulation of buildings thermal behaviour and human thermal comfort multi-node models

In this work two numerical models are presented. The first one simulates the buildings thermal response and evaluates the internal air quality, while the second one simulates the human and clothing thermal systems and calculates the thermal comfort level in non-uniform environments. The results obtained by the first model are used as input data in the second one. These programs will be used in the simulation of the thermal behaviour of a building, in project phase, located in the South of Portugal in a Winter day with clean sky, and in the evaluation of the thermal comfort level that an occupant is subjected, in a compartment located in the second floor with a window turned towards West.
