Highlights

• We have expanded the conclusion section with both numerical conclusions and expanded discussions on the limitations of existing MRT usages.

• Included new citations that covers the latest development of MRT research and standardization effort (ASHRAE Standard 55-2017, for example).

• Adding new illustration of the MRT as a concept in relation to the human body geometry.

• Expanded review on how indoor MRT variations due to shortwave radiation are characterized
