Which thermal comfort parameter can be controlled by the use of automatic window shades?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Automatic window shades can significantly influence the mean radiant temperature within a space by controlling the amount of solar radiation that enters. The mean radiant temperature is a measure of the warmth that one feels from the radiant heat exchange with surrounding surfaces. By adjusting window shades automatically based on the sun's position and intensity, the system can reduce overheating from solar gain, thereby maintaining a more comfortable and stable indoor thermal environment. This control helps in creating a space that aligns with the WELL Building Standard's focus on thermal comfort, ensuring that occupants are comfortable and productive.

Hmm, this is a tough one. Maybe we should all just draw straws to decide the answer. I hear that works better than guessing sometimes.

Hold up, I thought shades were for keeping the sun out, not controlling the humidity. I'm sticking with A. Air movement.

I'm gonna go with B. Relative humidity. Shades can help reduce moisture levels by limiting heat and evaporation, right?

I believe it's mean radiant temperature because shades can block direct sunlight.
