Abstract
In this paper, the following comfort indices and their implication on the environment are analyzed: the effective equivalent temperature index (TEE), the humidity temperature index (UTI) and the Thom discomfort index (DI Thom). These indices highlight the comfort or thermal discomfort of a region depending on the values for the air temperature, the relative humidity of the air during the period 2009-2018 recorded by the weather station AWWS/EV from the Faculty of Engineering of Biotechnical Systems, Politehnica University of Bucharest.
Highlights
In this paper, the following comfort indices and their implication on the environment are analyzed: the effective equivalent temperature index (TEE), the humidity temperature index (UTI) and the Thom discomfort index (DI Thom)
Materials and methods The study of thermal comfort and discomfort was performed using a mathematical algorithm based on the air temperature values, the relative humidity of the air in the municipality of Bucharest in the period 2009-2018 recorded by the weather station of the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, the Faculty of Biotechnical Systems Engineering
Based on the statistical analysis of the average values of the meteorological data recorded by the weather station during the period 2009 - 2018, we calculated the TEE index, it is observed that there is no thermal discomfort through heating
Summary
The following comfort indices and their implication on the environment are analyzed: the effective equivalent temperature index (TEE), the humidity temperature index (UTI) and the Thom discomfort index (DI Thom). These indices highlight the comfort or thermal discomfort of a region depending on the values for the air temperature, the relative humidity of the air during the period 2009-2018 recorded by the weather station AWWS/EV from the Faculty of Engineering of Biotechnical Systems, Politehnica University of Bucharest. The state of thermal comfort is the feeling of good physical state due to the heat exchange between the human body and the environment achieved without overloading the thermoregulatory system [13]. For the area occupied by the civilian rooms, four categories of indoor air quality are mentioned in table 1
