Abstract: It is important to predict thermal comfort, and several prediction methods were developed. One of the methods, Fanger’s human thermoregulation model, is considered not to be proper to apply to all circumstances, in particular, non-uniform or unsteady fields. In this study, aiming to analyse with simple model of computational thermal manikin in CFD simulating non-uniform radiant field, we compared analyses to experiments and confirmed the model validity. It indicates that Fanger’s model is maybe applicable to not only uniform and steady fields but also non-uniform radiant fields like an area near a window in summer.
