Effective velocities 0.8 and 1.

3 m/s
Apparent cooling effects dT (from eq. (1.24)) limiting temperatures: T U + dT.
Mark these on the 50% RH curve.
Find the notional X -axis intercept as in (3) above.
Draw the boundary from this intercept upwards from the 50% curve only
For the lower half take half of this increment.
The top limit is the 95% RH curve
Evaporative cooling CPZ
Take lower left corner of January comfort zone (the S -point).
Draw the corresponding WBT line to the X -axis.
X -intercept = S + AH * (2501 - 1.805 *T)/1000.
Draw parallel line from top right corner of comfort zone.
The temperature limit is the vertical at Tn - 11°C
For indirect this is at Tn - 14°C and the upper boundary is the 14 g/kg
horizontal line, e.g. for Brisbane.

Passive solar
July: mean temperature T - 15.1°C north vertical irradiation D v.360 =
3094 Wh/m2.
Tn = 17.8 + 0.31 * 15.1 = 22.5°C
TL = 20°C
TU = 25
Limiting outdoor temperatures for passive solar heating:
20 - 0.005 * 3094 = 4.5°C
20 - 0.0036 * 3094 = 8.9°C

Mass effect
July (as above)
Tampl = 20.4 - 9.8 = 10.6 K
T L = 20 pvsL = 2.3 kPa shL = 14.6 g/kg AH50: L = 7.3 g/kg
T U = 25°C pvsU = 3.15 kPa shU = 20 g/kg AH50: U = 10 g/kg
Intercepts: T 1 = 20 + 0.023 * (20 - 14) * 7.3 = 21°C
T 2 = 25 + 0.023 * (25 - 14) * 10 = 27.5°C
Lower limit: 20 - (10.6 * 0.3) = 16.8°C

January mean temperature T = 25°C T ampl = 29.1 - 21 = 8.1 K


Tn = 17.8 + 0.31 * 25 = 25.5°C
T L = 23°C p vsL = 2.79 shL = 17.6 AH50: L = 8.8
T U = 28°C pvsU = 3.75 kPa shU = 23.9 g/kg AH50: U = 11.9 g/kg
Intercepts: T 3 = 23 + 0.023 * (23 - 14) * 8.8 = 24.4°C
T 4 =28 + 0.023 * (28 - 14) * 11.9 = 31.8°C
Upper limit: 28 +14.5 * 0.3) = 32.3°C
With night vent: 28 + (14.5 * 0.6) = 36.7°C
