Dr. Aviv and her team have developed a novel mean radiant temperature (MRT) simulation tool. The tool uses raytracing and human body geometry to provide high-resolution spatial analysis of MRT distribution in indoor environments . The simulation is constructed to aid designers in analyzing the impact of architectural form and materials on the embodied perception of heat.
