This paper documents an approach for evaluating the comfort impacts associated with varying fenestration system parameters primarily under the influence of direct solar radiation. The authors present a method of evaluation in which it was shown that an annual comfort index could be determined by knowing the fenestration system solar heat gain coefficient and aperture size.
