Abstract
BackgroundFanger’s PMV equation is the result of the combined quantitative effects of the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, humidity, activity level and clothing insulation.MethodsThis paper contains a comparison of suit dresses and summer clothes in terms of thermal comfort, Fanger’s PMV equation. Studies were processed in the winter for an office, which locates in Ankara, Turkey. The office was partitioned to fifty square cells. Humidity, relative air velocity, air temperature and mean radiant temperature were measured on the centre points of these cells. Thermal comfort analyses were processed for suit dressing (Icl = 1 clo) and summer clothing (Icl = 0.5 clo).ResultsDiscomfort/comfort in an environment for different clothing types can be seen in this study. The relationship between indoor thermal comfort distribution and clothing type was discussed. Graphics about thermal comfort were sketched according to cells.ConclusionsConclusions about the thermal comfort of occupants were given by PMV graphics.
Highlights
Fanger’s Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) equation is the result of the combined quantitative effects of the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, humidity, activity level and clothing insulation
When the PMV score converges to zero, the thermal environment is comfortable for maximum occupants [16,17]
PMV values of 0,6 meter for suit dresses are shown in Figures 11 and 12 shows PMV values of 1 meter height
Summary
Fanger’s PMV equation is the result of the combined quantitative effects of the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, humidity, activity level and clothing insulation. Introduction Thermal comfort can be defined as the satisfaction of the mind in a thermal environment [1]. Physical and mental productivity of human are increased in this satisfied environment. The main purposes of the HVAC systems are acceptable comfort and acceptable indoor air quality for human occupants [2]. Engineers have been studying to develop into more comfortable environments for many years. Heating systems and air conditioning systems are utilized to reaching for optimum thermal comfort conditions. If the energy consumption of heating and air conditioning will be decreased, the energy sources can be saved more
