Given detailed hourly data for a site, psychrometric analysis can be used to determine the potential effects of a range of passive design techniques (as per Szokolay, 1987). You can also assess multiple passive systems in combination.
Comfort Percentages
The effect of each system is shown as an increase in the number of hours spent within the comfort zone each month, which is defined using the monthly thermal neutrality range. This lets designers quickly see the most effective passive systems to suit any specific location.
