However, the tendency to use more glass in vehicle styling coupled with tightening fuel-economy constraints, the change to less-efficient, environmentally safe refrigerants, and reduced condenser air flow, particularly at idle, are significant challenges for achieving occupant thermal comfort. As a consequence, it has become necessary to develop tools that can predict the impact of various design choices on passenger thermal comfort early in the design process. Schematic of virtual thermal comfort engineering process ? Solar load on the glass and on the cabin interior of a full-size SUV Air flow distribution in a full-size SUVcabin To explore different climate control strategies as they relate to occupant thermal comfort in a quick and inexpensive manner, Delphi developed the Virtual Thermal Comfort Engineering (VTCE) process. The model has the ability to predict the local thermal comfort level of an occupant in a highly non-uniform thermal environment as a function of air temperature, surrounding surface temperatures, air velocity, humidity, direct solar flux, and the level of activity and clothing of each passenger. In its study, Delphi used test data to validate VTCE for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) cabin environment. VTCE was then used to perform sensitivity studies of various vehicle cabin environments on the occupant thermal comfort, including discharge temperature, breath level temperature and air velocity, solar intensity, and solar angles. For the purpose of VTCE, the geometry of the passenger c
