The Advanced Berkeley Comfort (ABC) model, originally developed by the Building Sciences Group at UCB for the evaluation of human comfort in automobiles, is one of the most sophisticated thermal comfort models in existence. The comfort models for local body parts and body overall are based on intensive human subject tests carried out at CBE environmental chamber. So far, these are the only models available which predict comfort for local body parts, therefore a good model to predict comfort under non-uniform environments.
Let's quickly dive into and explore . For additional information about the web interface, is the documentation for the web interface.
We offer an official API (ABC model API) with example code written in several popular programming languages. We recommend using this API for those who want to run the model programmatically for advanced simulations beyond the capabilities of the web interface. You can also create powerful, custom integrations that enhance your own applications by leveraging our model's capabilities.
