HVAC & thermal comfort tools

Hello foamers.

I recently switched my working field to the thermal comfort analyses and I when I searched about that in OpenFOAM I find this code:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoamadd-ons/
And by reading the code I noticed that it can calculate the mean age of air and the ventilating efficiency and some other thermal comfort indicators (PMV, PPD, etc).

But I didn't found any example of using it or weather it could be used in the steady state cases or what, so if any one used it or have any knowledge about something similar it would be great to share that with us

Regards.

did this code worked? i'm very interested in it.did you try any other way to caculated the age of air and PPD?

Hello
There is a new version of this library developed by Tobias Holzmann, you can find it here
https://bitbucket.org/shor-ty/opencomfort/overview
and every thing is well explained, I can't give you any other information because I did'n start my simulations yet.
