title = "Steps in Designing an Indicator for Assessing Window{\textquoteright}s Effect on Indoor Thermal Comfort",
abstract = "The effects of solar radiation play an important role on human thermal comfort, especially within the near-window zones. When incorporating the solar effect into the thermal comfort model, the comprehensive solar-optical characteristics of windows have to be taken into account, especially when it came to a largely variant or unbalanced spectral distribution of a building window. In this work, we examined the thermal effects varying with different spectral characteristics of glazing systems and also preliminarily proposed a new indicator “thermal effect index (TEI)” that can be used to estimate the impact levels of window systems on indoor users{\textquoteright} thermal comfort in near-window zones. TEI could be used as a benchmark for assessing a window system{\textquoteright}s potential impacts on indoor users{\textquoteright} thermal comfort, especially when direct sunlight is enabled in a space.",
