63 COMFORT ZONE

64 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICES MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE PREDICTED MEAN VOTE (PMV) INDEX PREDICTED PERCENTAGE DISSATISFIED (PPD) INDEX LOWEST POSSIBLE PERCENTAGE DISSATISFIED (LPPD) INDEX THE OPERATIVE TEMPERATURE

65 MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE the uniform surface temperature of a black enclosure with which an individual exchanges the same heat by radiation as the actual environment considered.

66 PREDICTED MEAN VOTE (PMV) INDEX The PMV index predicts the mean response of a large group of people according to the ASHRAE thermal sensation scale:

67 where M( q m ) - metabolic rate L - thermal load defined as the difference between the internal heat production and the heat loss to the actual environment for a person hypothetically kept at comfort values of skin temperature and evaporative heat loss by sweating at the actual activity level.

68 PMV method can be described as a simple energy balance, in which a human comfort index is estimated from a difference in heat generated by the human body with the heat lost from the body to the surroundings.

69 PREDICTED PERCENTAGE DISSATISFIED (PPD) INDEX PPD is a quantitative measure of the thermal comfort of a group of people at a particular thermal environment. Fanger related the PPD to the PMV as follows:

70 Source:Thermal Comfort, P. O. Fanger, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1970.

71 LOWEST POSSIBLE PERCENTAGE DISSATISFIED (LPPD) INDEX The LPPD is a quantitative measure of the thermal comfort of a room as a whole for a group of people in a thermally nonuniform environment. It is more useful for large rooms than for small one. As a recommended design target, LPPD is not to exceed 6%.

72 THE OPERATIVE TEMPERATURE Is one of several parameters devised to measure the air's cooling effect upon a human body It is equal to the dry-bulb temperature at which a specified hypothetical environment would support the same heat loss from an unclothed, reclining human body as the actual environment. In the hypothetical environment, the wall and air temperatures are equal and the air movement is 7.6 cm/s.

73 From experiment it has been found that the operative temperature where: t r is the mean radiant temperature; ( o C), t a is the mean air temperature; ( o C), t s is the mean skin temperature; ( o C), and v is the airspeed, cm/s.

74 Effective Temperature Effective temperature is the uniform temperature of a radiantly black enclosure at 50% relative humidity, in which an occupant would experience the same comfort, physiological strain and heat exchange as in the actual environment with the same air motion.
